IMIGRANTES, TRABALHO E REVOLUÇÃO EM SÃO PAULO: A “LEI MONSTRO”

Abstract

The intersection between immigration and politics is analyzed through the bias provided by foreigners who exercised a relevant action in the organization of workers in their own unions and political parties, in the first half of the 20th century, in Brazil. With the support provided by working-class memories and repression, are studied the impacts of the National Security Law of men’s and women’s lives, doubly expatriates as individuals dangerous to the maintenance of “social order and peace”. It seeks to contribute to the knowledge of a broad and durable political-social phenomenon, based on the dialectical opposition between capital and work and on the hate speech against the “other”. The method, deductive and interdisciplinary, follows works on imigration and the formation of the Brazilian Revolutionary Left, in the anarchist, socialist and communist currents (Stalinists and Trotskyists).
