RESUMO

This investigation tries to recover concrete practices, strategies and experiences related to the urban trajectory made by the Spanish immigrants in the city of São Paulo between 1890 and 1922. This period, which has been denominated mass emigration, was responsible for the displacement of immense human waves that crossed the Atlantic, towards America. Originally from Spain, great population contingents made their way to the coffee nucleus in the State of São Paulo, attracted by the efficient and aggressive official policy of recruiting of hands, based on the granting of passage to the emigrating families. They ran away from hunger, misery, the military calls to the colonial wars and the lack of future perspectives. One great share of this population however, settled in the rising Paulicéia, which at that time was going through deep transformations and attracting capital and population. It thus quickly transformed itself from a small urban nucleus, in the passage to the 20th century, into the coffee metropolis. In the ethnic kaleidoscope of the Paulicéia, the Spanish arise in three main immigrating chains. The specificity of the citys constitution, the increase in the diversified population, and the mixture of multiple life expectations and experiences, will result in a conflicting cosmopolitanism, an inseparable aspect of the citys urbanization process. In this investigation we try to examine, with the support of substantial and unpublished documentation, the multiple roles of the population originally from Spain and the research shows the reasons why it ended up settling in the metropolis that was being built, and becoming, together with the other inhabitants of the city, the main characters of one of the most expressive chapters of its History.
