Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze Haitian immigration to the municipality of Concórdia, western Santa Catarina, which took place between the years 2014 to 2020. Here, we could understand how the Haitian immigration process took place in the municipality of Concórdia, how this immigration process started and which it is the importance of contact networks and networked communications that enabled or facilitated the process as a whole. In addition to the above, this work gave light, space and voice to the experiences lived by these immigrants and, which here took shape through oral narratives, demonstrating the existence of racist and prejudiced practices on the part of people, companies and institutions supported by structural and racism institutionalized pillar in the relations between concordiense society and Haitian immigrants. Our final product is based on the theoretical-methodological contribution that conceives regions as the result of a practiced space, in the concept of structural racism defended by the philosopher Silvio Luiz de Almeida and in the methodology of oral history, that enabled us to define, delimit, identify and problematize the object in question, relating it to facts and sources found during the investigative escalation of this work.
