This article examines the relationships between the exile of ItalianJewish intellectuals and some argentine anti-fascist experiencesduring the 1930s. It shows that Italian intellectuals who arrived inArgentina between 1938 and 1941, as a result of implementation of the“racial laws” of fascism, attempted insertion strategies that reliedmostly on the possibilities that their socioprofessional status. Theconnection with Italian anti-fascist groups in Argentina played asecondary role. But in the intellectual world the exiles found supportin The Free College of Higher Studies (CLES) and others culturalspaces, through international and local networking.
