Abstract

New migration influxes to São Paulo after World War II are the object of this research project. In particular, insertion of skilled workers from Europe and Japan in the newly installed industries in the state of São Paulo from 1947 till the end of the 80's. This study has two stages. The first, planned to be developed in two years, aims to property organize a set of documents into an electronic data set. These documents has been saved in the Memorial do Imigrante - São Paulo, into a common file. This comprises about 500,000 immigration arrival records. The second phase consists of separate analysis of this file of documents. These analyses will help deepening some unexplored aspects of the historiography of the period. (AU)
