Published in 2008 and winner of the 2011 Thomas E. Skidmore Prize,
Paulo Fontes's Migration and the Making of Industrial Sao Paulo is
a detailed social history of Sao Paulo's extraordinary urban and
industrial expansion. Fontes focuses on those migrants who settled
in the suburb of Sao Miguel Paulista, which grew from 7,000
residents in the 1940s to over 140,000 two decades later.
Reconstructing these migrants' everyday lives within a broad social
context, Fontes examines the economic conditions that prompted
their migration, their creation of an integrated identity and
community, and their efforts to gain worker rights. Fontes
challenges the stereotypes of Northeasterners as culturally
backward, uneducated, violent, and unreliable, instead seeing them
as a resourceful population with considerable social and political
resolve. Fontes's investigations into Northeastern life in Sao
Miguel Paulista yield a fresh understanding of Sao Paulo's
incredible and difficult growth while outlining how a marginalized
population exercised its political agency.
