A INSERCIÓN LABORAL DOS EMIGRANTES EN BOS<br />

AIRES A TRAVÉS DA PRENSA DA COLECTIVIDADE<br />

GALEGA, 1900-1930<br />

Gustavo Hervella García e María Seijas Montero<br />

RESUMO<br />

O que pretendemos neste estudo é aproximarnos ao traballo dos galegos na ci<strong>da</strong>de de Bos Aires<br />

durante o primeiro terzo do século xx, utilizando como fonte principal a prensa étnica galaicoporteña,<br />

sobre todo os anuncios comerciais que nela se publicaron. O traballo céntrase en tres<br />

aspectos fun<strong>da</strong>mentais: a ocupación dos galegos en Arxentina, a súa inserción laboral e os seus<br />

patróns residenciais. A través destes elementos podemos constatar unha forte participación<br />

dos galegos nas activi<strong>da</strong>des relaciona<strong>da</strong>s co pequeno comercio, no que predominan de forma<br />

moi destaca<strong>da</strong> os negocios dedicados ao téxtil, coiro e derivados. Foron tamén galegos aqueles<br />

negocios dedicados á restauración e alimentación, como tamén os de hostalaría. No que respecta<br />

á situación na ci<strong>da</strong>de riopratense, tamén comprobamos que existe unha notable preferencia a<br />

asentarse en determinados barrios, que se converten, deste xeito, en lugares onde non só se tiña<br />

contacto cos paisanos, senón tamén onde se recibían as novas <strong>da</strong> parroquia de orixe, así como<br />

onde se formaron as primeiras microsocie<strong>da</strong>des de instrución.<br />

Palabras clave: galegos, emigración, ocupación e inserción laboral, patróns residenciais.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />

Our aim is for the study to bring us closer to the occupations by Galicians in the city of Buenos<br />

Aires in the first third of the 20th century, using the ethnic community press of Buenos Aires<br />

as the main source, especially the commercial advertisements that were published. The article<br />

focuses on three fun<strong>da</strong>mental aspects: the occupation of Galicians in Argentina, their access to the<br />

labour market and their residential patterns. Through these elements, we can confirm significant<br />

Galician participation in the activities related to small-scale trade, with a predominance of<br />

businesses dedicated to textiles, leather and by-products. Businesses dedicated to the catering<br />

industry and foodstuffs, as well as the hotel industry were also run by Galicians. With regard to<br />

the River Plate city, we also found a notable preference for certain quarters, which consequently<br />

became places where not only contact could be made with fellow countrymen and women, but<br />

also where news could be heard about the parish of origin, as well as where the first microsocieties<br />

of instruction were formed.<br />

Keywords: Galicians, emigration, occupation and access to employment, residential patterns.<br />
