Resumen
CZEPULA, KAMILA ROSA. The Issue of Chinese Workers: Salvation or Decadence of Brazil? (1860-1877). Anu. colomb. hist. soc. cult. [online]. 2020, vol.47, n.1, pp.303-325. Epub 05-Mar-2020. ISSN 0120-2456. https://doi.org/10.15446/achsc.v47n1.83153.
The possibility of Chinese immigration sparked intense discussions during the 1870s, in both the Brazilian Parliament and the press. The Chinese were then being considered as a viable alternative in view of the labor shortage in Brazil. Though previous research projects have analyzed the discourses in favor or against this immigration, there is still much to explore. Thus, the article seeks to answer the following questions: When did intellectuals of the period begin to get involved in these debates? Who were the main figures and what were their strategies? Which discourses managed to change the course of the debates on this issue?
