Parricide on the Pampa? presents a radical rereading of Alberto Gerchunoff's classic immigrant saga, Los gauchos judíos (1910; The Jewish Gauchos). This collection of stories about the early twentieth-century agricultural colonies founded by persecuted Eastern European Jews on the pampa has been both praised and damned -praised as Argentine Jewry's citizenship papers and damned as a sellout to Argentine xenophobia.
