GRIMSON, Alejandro; NG, Gustavo y DENARDI, Luciana. Chinese immigrant organizations in Argentina. Migr. desarro [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.26, pp.25-73. ISSN 1870-7599.
This study focuses on Chinese immigrant organizations in Argentina. Migration from Taiwan intensified in the 1970s and 1980s, while the flow that originated in continental China occurred in the preceding decades. There is currently a strong trend toward economic and labor integration of immigrants within a specific niche: supermarkets. This activity has led to a geographic dispersal of migrants who tend to reside near their area of employment. Chinese immigration to Argentina exhibits a number of peculiarities. It is a more recent kind of immigration that that which occurred in the United States, in which Taiwan was more heavily represented; it is much smaller in demographic terms, more dispersed across the cities, very far from the country of origin in geographic terms and in an economic context, with a lower savings capacity in dollars. All of these factors result in a certain limitation in the development of transnationalism. However, there are clear indicators of a nascent transnationalism.
