| Abstract | |
The research seeks to elucidate some aspects of the immigration to Brazil after the Second World War. More specifically, the objective is to analyze the debates that took place in the first half of the 1950s around the Brazilian immigration policy that should be established through the foundation of the National Institute of Immigration and Colonization (INIC) and the development of its activities. We intend to verify if, during the discussions about the creation of the INIC, senators and deputies defended or rejected the arrival of immigrants and refugees to Brazil in the context of post-World War II, identifying the regions of the country that they represented in the National Congress and understanding their objectives when accepting or rejecting the configuration of the immigration policy initially proposed by the Executive Branch. In this investigation, we seek to apprehend the different discourses that dealt with the figure of the immigrant both in political debates and in administrative practices. We also verified what were the purposes and the main concerns of the leaders of the National Institute of Immigration and Colonization in its first year of activity, as well as the relationship between the different national and international organizations that had an influence on Brazilian immigration policy in the first half of the 1950s. As a result of the characteristics of the object of study, on which there is a particular difficulty in compiling the data, we‟ll primarily analyze the institutional transformations and permanencies that are qualitatively observable. In order to achieve these objectives, the present research covers a wide range of sources, consisting mainly of the Diaries of the Chamber of Deputies (1952- 1954); Annals Books of the Senate of the Republic (1953-1954); Presidential messages sent to the National Congress (1951-1954); Dossier of the Chamber of Deputies regarding PL 2110/1952; and documents consulted at the Itamaraty Historical Archive (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and at the Diplomatic Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Lisbon, Portugal).
