Abstract

This article focuses on the mass immigration politics during the 19th century and the restraints to the establishment of outlander communitiesin the Brazilian territory. Always controversial, the mass immigration generated many debates among politicians during both the First and Second Reign in Brazil, mostly because of the ways this kind of workmanship should be implemented and its real needs (or utility) in a country where the majority of the labour force was constituted by slaves. The article also deals with the difficulties concerning the adapatation of the outlander to the territory and to the working relations that were dominant in Brazilian society.
