YAVEROVSKI, ALEJANDRO MARTIN. Three Neighborhood Republics and their Universities. People's Universities in the city of Buenos Aires in the interwar period: a preliminary outline. []. , 16, 38, pp.35-80.   17--2022. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.38.2021.2817.

This article brings a new perspective to the historical knowledge of the People's Universities. To this end, the experiences of three institutions in the city of Buenos Aires are analyzed: the People's University of La Boca, founded in 1917; the People's University of Boedo, whose foundation dates from 1928; and the People's University "Sociedad Luz", created in 1899 on the initiative of the Socialist Party and currently located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Barracas.

These educational institutions are studied in relation to the dual concept of neighborhood, typical of the development of the local history of the city of Buenos Aires. We work as a hypothesis that belonging to "the neighborhood" -enunciated even in the denomination of two of the People's Universities- influenced the constitution of the identities of both neighborhoods and People's Universities, fostering the development of a network of links between neighborhoods.
