Este artigo tem como propósito reconstruir o rol desempenhado pelo gigante da filantropia estadunidense — a Fundação Ford (FF) — na Argentina, a partir de um momento muito crítico das relações interamericanas durante a Guerra Fria: 1959. A pesquisa está baseada em uma extensa quantidade de fontes provenientes de arquivos, incluindo informações específicas sobre as quantias doadas pela Fundação para profissionais das ciências duras com o fim de escapar da emergência política a meados dos anos 1960. Essas contribuições serão divididas em três partes: (i) uma breve introdução aos principais objetivos e estratégias da FF na América Latina à luz dos imperativos do conflito bipolar; (ii) o papel desempenhado no apoio às ciências sociais e à organização de programas de reassentamento; e (iii) as diversas contradições no processo de boas-vindas aos acadêmicos nos EUA.
