Abstract

The political activities of Argentine exiles in Paris during the period of terrorism in Argentina (1976-1983) centered upon opposition to the military regime and solidarity with the victims of repression in Argentina through the systematic denunciation of the regime's violation of human rights. The form that these political activities took was the product not only of the urgency of the situation but also of the logics of the receiving society and the rejecting society and the political situation of the exiles. Consideration of these three factors is essential to any understanding of the logic of exiled political actors.
