A good general history of Argentina is Carlos Alberto Florias and Cesar A. García Belsunce, Historia de los Argentinos, 2 vols. (Buenos Aires, 1992), while briefer overviews are provided by the Economist Intelligence Unit, “Argentina – 1993–94,” in Country Profiles (London, 1994), and Lerner Publications Company, Argentina ... in Pictures, Visual Geography Series (Minneapolis, Minn., 1988).
General statistical information on Argentinians in Canada is available in Employment and Immigration Canada, Immigration Statistics. Individual Reports (Ottawa, 1980-1993); Statistics Canada, Ethnic Origin: The Nation (Ottawa, 1993); and Fernando G. Mata, “Immigrants of the Hispanic World in Canada: Demographic Profiles and Social Adaptation,” a report prepared for the Multiculturalism Sector, Secretary of State (Ottawa, 1988).
A number of shorter and more general studies, in some cases dealing with Argentinians in a specific province, are also available: The Canadian Family Tree, “The Argentinians” (Don Mills, Ont., 1979); Ministère des Affaires Internationals de l’Immigration et des Communautés Culturelles, “Communité argentine du Québec,” in Profils des communautés culturelles du Québec (Quebec City, 1991); and Ontario Ministry of Culture and Recreation, “Argentinians,” Ontario Ethnocultural Profiles (Toronto, n.d.). Finally, more specific studies of aspects of Argentinian life in Canada are: Peter Knudtson, “The Heart’s Lonely Hunter,” Equinox (May/ June 1987); and Ken and Julie Macfie Sobol, “A Passion for Heritage,” Canadian Geographic (January/February 1993).
