Competing Germanies tracks the paths of several stage actors from European theaters to Buenos Aires and explores how two of Argentina's most influential immigrant groups, German nationalists and antifascists (Jewish and non-Jewish), clashed on the city's stages. Covered widely in German- and Spanish-language media, theatrical performances articulated strident Nazi, antifascist, and Zionist platforms. Meanwhile, as their thespian representatives grappled onstage for political leverage among emigrants and Argentines, behind the curtain, conflicts simmered within partisan institutions and among theatergoers. Publicly they projected unity, but offstage nationalist, antifascist, and Zionist populations were rife with infighting on issues of political allegiance, cultural identity and, especially, integration with their Argentine hosts"-- OP - 355 CN - PN2451 .K45 2019 SN - 9781501739873 SN - 1501739883 SN - 9781501739880 SN - 1501739875 SN - 9781501739859 SN - 9781501739866 SN - 1501739859 SN - 1501739867 KW - Freie Deutsche Buehne in Buenos Aires : History.
