A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA MEMÓRIA PARA O ESTUDO DE UM PROCESSO IMIGRATÓRIO ESPECÍFICO: o caso dos sírios e libaneses em Juiz de Fora – MG (1890-1940)

Abstract

This article is a part of our master degree study about the syrian immigrants and lebaneses settled down in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. We intended, trough the memory, to study deeply the Syrian and lebaneses and their descendents in Juiz de Fora. Trough the orality and the memory, in the other words, interviewers with descendents from Syrians and lebaneses, we made a model about how these groups were settled down in Juiz de Fora, pointing the causes of the departure from their homeland, how the arrival in the city was, what they used to do, where they used to live, how the relation with the places was, what kind of food they used to eat, among other things. Trough the memory, we could see the version of those people that really lived the process of immigrantion and trough the interviewers,they could contribute to clear about this immigrant group that we are discussing about.
