Alberto Ezcurra Medrano was an Argentine historian and nationalist activist.[1]
One of the most important thinkers of Argentine Nacionalismo, Ezcurra championed a social order based on Roman Catholicism and corporatist economics.[2] His son Alberto Ezcurra Uriburu would become one of the most important Argentine far-right political figures of the 20th century as a leader of the Movimiento Nacionalista Tacuara.[3][4]
Alberto Ezcurra Medrano was born in Buenos Aires in 1909. His family was related to Encarnación Ezcurra, wife of Argentine caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas and an important political figure of her time.[4]
He worked as a history professor at the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and rose to intellectual prominence with his studies about the Argentine Confederation. In 1939 Ezcurra founded the Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas Juan Manuel de Rosas to promote historical revisionism in Argentina.[1]
Ezcurra also stood out as a writer for many nationalist magazines and newspapers like La Nueva República, Baluarte, Crisol and Nueva Política.[1]
He had seven children, of which three became priests.[1]
