| Summary: | This article first deals with historical and cultural differences between the European and South American Jews’ emancipation process in order to comparatively show how some intellectuals, daughters and sons of South American Jewish immigrants have been the main actors on both social and citizen-like aspects, in some conflicted family situations in respect to children born from Jewish parents emancipated from the Old Continent, according to Stéphane Mosès’s definition. This first part is dedicated to a necessary contextualization to make room to rethink the deconstructing of the assimilation process of two Jewish Argentinians that have been forced into exile during the dictatorship years of the country and whom, feeling dispossessed of both their country and citizenship, give autobiographical accounts on their diaspora and their integration failure during their years of roaming but also after they have returned to their motherland.
