A historical analysis of the Argentinian Jewish community of Buenos Aires from its origins until 1930. Describes the first evidence of antisemitism expressed in the local press in 1881 against Jewish immigration from Russia. Some anti-Jewish stereotypes were incorporated by writers (e.g. in Julián Martel's novel "La bolsa", 1891). Later, as a consequence of actions and strikes carried out by the labor movements, especially by anarchists and socialists, a campaign was launched against foreigners. An attempt was made to control the curricula of Jewish schools. Jews were identified with subversion and radical tendencies such as anarchism. Discusses the "Semana Trágica" (January 1919), the first pogrom in Argentina.

This international handbook gives a comprehensive overview of findings from longstanding and contemporary research, theory, and practices in early childhood education in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The first volume of the handbook addresses theory, methodology, and the research activities and research needs of particular regions. The second volume examines in detail innovations and longstanding programs, curriculum and assessment, and conceptions and research into child, family and communities. The two volumes of this handbook address the current theory, methodologies and research needs of specific countries and provide insight into existing global similarities in early childhood practices. By paying special attention to what is happening in the larger world contexts, the volumes provide a representative overview of early childhood education practices and research, and redress the current North-South imbalance of published work on the subject.
