Emigrants, schools and social regeneration
Abstract
One million Galicians emigrated from Galicia to various American countries between 1860 and 1930, to Cuba, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, making up one of the largest immigrant groups. Towards the end of the 19th century some of them had made their fortune and with their own resources they promoted the foundation of schools in Galicia (Spain); these schools included characteristics of urban teaching, with positivist and reformist touches. Many others got together and sent considerable economic remittances to Galicia during the fi rst decades of the 20th century; this made it possible to create about 150 schools and almost 500 classrooms dispersed around the countryside. Very often these were equipped with innovative didatic resources and endowed with tendencies related to the main aspects of the New School ideology. This contributed, therefore, to the renewal and reform of schooling, in this case spurred on by the progressive impetus brought about by the American reality.
