The Struggle of the Student Movement in Rosario, between the Cordobazo and the “Primavera Camporista” (1969-1973)

Abstract

In this article we analyze the struggles of Rosario’s student movement, from the Cordobazo in May of 1969, until the end of the military dictatorship in May of 1973. We highlight the student’s participation in the Rosariazo, the struggles against university’s admissions exams, academic-corporate conflicts and mobilizations against state and parastatal repression during the GAN. We look to the confrontation’s modalities (forms of action and organization, demands), the course of worker-student unity and the political positions within the movement, showing that, in contradiction to widespread hypotheses, university reformism was fundamental in the student movement during the seventies.
