What connects tea parties and genocide, British settlers and Argentina’s white supremacist ideology? In The Man Who Gave Me a Biscuit, Penny Woolcock unveils the hidden story of British settlers in Argentina who quietly shaped a nation while erasing its indigenous past.
Part memoir, part critical history, Woolcock braids her personal narrative with a searing exploration of imperialism’s enduring legacy. From the catastrophic arrival of Columbus in 1492 to the brutal military dictatorships of the 1970s, she unravels a tapestry of violence, denial, and colonial ambition.
Through the lens of her British immigrant ancestors, who were part of the seven million Europeans settling in Argentina in the 19th century, Woolcock examines how a small but powerful British community—praised by President Sarmiento and deemed “informal colonizers” by Lenin—helped build the banks, railroads, and stock exchanges that displaced indigenous peoples. Behind the genteel facade of tea parties and polite gossip lies a story of influence, destruction, and erasure.
Woolcock delves into the genocide of indigenous peoples during the Conquest of the Desert, funded by British investors, and the missionaries in Tierra del Fuego who spread disease and destroyed the native culture. Scottish and English “Indian hunters” were paid by the head to eliminate indigenous communities, often under the employ of British landowners. The sheep that flooded Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego—after journeys from the Highland clearances to Australia, New Zealand, and the Falkland Islands—were British, too. And yet, the British settler community remained in the shadows, keeping their hands clean while reaping the benefits of a violent and ruthless expansion.
By weaving her personal journey with the unspoken history of the British in Argentina, Woolcock shines a light on a forgotten community and challenges readers to confront the blood-soaked legacies of colonialism that still shape our world.
