Resumo: |
This research analyses the performance of the Brasil Unido Beneficent Society, in the context of the correlation of strengths and historical conjunctures presented in São Caetano do Sul, between 1950 and 1965. Founded in 1950, by a group consisting most of socially and economically stable people from the Northeast part of Brazil, this society had as its main goal to give support to migrants from this part of the country. Such initiatives were concretized by mutualist and philanthropic ways. The mutualist initiatives were featured by practices such as monetary assistance to its members, in case of illness, financial issues and unemployment. The philanthropy was directed to not members and provided shelter, feeding, employment and health treatment. Craving the strengthening of the group, its directors embrace a strategy to enlarge the work, starting to benefit not only people from the Northeast. This way, the Brasil Unido would have more conditions to stand out among the acting forces in the city, giving its projects visibility and fundraising increase alternatives. The search for resources made its directors developed a relationship with the municipal, state and federal political system. Speachs to propagate the society work, guided and fortified by these relations, disseminated the group concept about the people benefited by its actions. This concept was close to the preconception presented in the social imaginary in those times, that conceived migrants as a violent, without culture and rough people. This preconception induced the Brasil Unido to propose an adaptation of those people to the habits and costumes of the city, seeking for their social inclusion in a scenario defined by an increasing urbanization and industrialization, such as São Caetano do Sul |
