Race, Identity, and Education in Brazil

Italian ethnic schools in the south of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in the early decades of the twentieth century are discussed. The establishment of ethnic schools in the southern Brazilian settlements, influenced by the predominant Italian ethnicity, was favored by the precariousness of public education inBrazil. Schools subsidized by the Italian government were introduced in the regions colonized by European immigrants and their descendants. Documentary sources showed that these schools received subsidies fromItaly in cash and books, and were visited and inspected by the Italian educational authorities. The Secretariat for Italian Schools in the south of the state of Santa Catarina was established in Urussanga in 1900 since the town was the main Italian-Brazilian center of the state in the early twentieth century.
