Abstract

The migration of Brazilians for Paraguay registered the first migratory trajectories from 1960 with the "nordestinos", and later the "sulistas" as resulted of the processes of agricultural mechanization, infrastructure projects in Brazil (as the construction of the Itaipu Hydroelectric) and the expansion of the agricultural border in such a way in Brazil as in Paraguay. As result of these trajectories can be identified the Colony Nueva Esperanza located in Yby Yaú, in the Department of Concepción/Paraguay, formed by Brazilians, who accompanied her parents migrated in search of land to produce. On the basis of the thinkers who if had dedicated to approach as the main migratory trajectories of Brazilians for the Paraguay had occurred, our objective will be to understand as it is to be Brazilian in Paraguay, and as the relations that these migrants had established between itself and with the Paraguayans it contributed for the formation of the territorial identity of the same ones. Show flags this process from the stories of the migrants of the Colony Nueva Esperanza, where they disclose the first difficulties if installing in the Paraguayan territory. Of this form the results presented here are preliminary for the fact of the research to be in progress.
