This article aims to reconstruct a part of the political history of Argentinian youth, particularly in the city of La Plata in the 1960s. This will be done through a dual approach: first, by analyzing the impact of the Cuban Revolution and the radicalization of the leftist and Peronist organizations; second, by discussing the proliferation of anti-communism and the extent and transformation of the government's forms of repression, which had a direct effect on the organizations’ practices. Our aim is to analyze the political transformations that were typical of the sixties, focusing in particular on the city’s young activists, the workers, who were identified politically with Peronism, students advocating for University Reformism, and diverse leftist organizations. In our methodology, we use youth as a key concept and focus on the local as the scope of our analysis.

Keywords : Youth; Peronism; Student Movement; Comunism and Anti-communism..
