Brazilians’ presence in recent Paraguay colonization

Abstract

In this paper the authors analyze Brazilians’ and Paraguayans’ presence in the process of recent colonization in the municipality of Santa Rita, Department of Alto Paraná, Oriental region of the Republic of Paraguay, initiated in the 1970’s. The objective of the paper is to contribute to the understanding of the social relations among migrants (foreign and national) in that space of colonization. In order to achieve this, the authors establish methodological interfaces between the fields of History and Social Anthropology, conjugating bibliographical, documentary and ethnographic research for a reflection on the historical situation observed in the region
