AGOSTINI, Luisina. The Railway Community of Laguna Paiva and its Response to Developmental Policies. Argentina, 1961. Secuencia [online]. 2021, n.111, e1795.  Epub 27-Set-2021. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i111.1795.

In this article, I use a local history perspective to explain the problems caused by the railway policies of the government of President Arturo Frondizi (1958-1962) in the Santa Fe railway community of Laguna Paiva (Argentina) and the ways Paiva residents defended their source of employment. I prove that the families of Laguna Paiva constructed and reaffirmed an identity related to railway spaces. I argue that the ideological and political context of the 1960s was reflected in the high participation rate of the military in the resolution of labor disputes. I prove the authoritarian nature of the national executive decisions regarding the social control of the railroad community of Paiva. This article contributes to studying the social conflict of the Developmentalist period that has scarcely been studied by Argentine historiography and explores the processes of shaping identities in local spaces.
