Dolor de dictadura, anhelo de república. El caso del emigrante J. D. Infante y "El Republicano"

Abstract

During the years immediately before the Second Spanish Republic, Spanish emigrants, such as J. Daniel Infante, proposed, from the Argentine Republic, a series of political criteria to their Spanish co-religionists. Infante's long-term migration experience allowed him to know the complex and ambivalent effects of the democratizing waves in the framework of Republican states erected by liberalism in the mid-19th century. From the perspective of the cultural history of politics, this article focuses on the analysis of democratic clues an suggestions, from liberal and republican basis, contained both in terms of the participation of the crowds and the nature of the reform agenda, which Infante proposed to his co-religionists.
