| Abstract | |
This study has as aim to analyze the discussion around Japanese immigration through magazines published in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and diplomatic documents between 1897 and 1945. In view of a reality of anti-Japanese thought diffusion in an ongoing literacy society, corroborated by different sources, I intend to confirm that iconography was central on constructing stereotyped imagery of Japanese immigrant. The image is considered central issue for our study to understand on that symbols and images play an educative role for viewing and agreeing with convenient concepts, specially from Brazilian diplomacy. This situation has legitimized racist praxis and outsiders prejudice, specially during Estado Novo and World War II. My contribution in this research will prove that this image of racially and politically dangerous had been present since the start of the Japanese immigration to Brazil. (AU) | |
