As a result of empirical material produced in a longer research concerning the “Problems of Argentinian democracy”, in the second part we proposed some interpretative hypothesis about the particularity of contemporary racism in Argentina. We focus on the ideological process emerging in the internal borders of politics, the subjective structure of the denial that affirms racism and the cultural logic of the racism.</span></p>
