Emerging Polish Culture in Brazil

The article is part of a research study of Polish culture in Brazil in the scenario of immigration between the years 1869 and 1939. The research focuses on the concept of the structure of Raymond Williams characterized by residual, dominant and emerging to analyse the different moments of a transformation of the culture that Polish immigrants developed in Brazil. Thus, we present the formation of an emerging with roots from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and which shows few similarities with contemporary Poland, and much more with a rural Poland from a 100 years ago.
