TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on aspects of the military discourse related to this campaign and its objectives of forced assimilation, based on documents produced by Army officers working as agents for nationalization in the Itajai Valley, in the State of Santa Catarina, a region viewed as a paradigm of "encystment", straying from the principles of "Brazilianness".
Abstract: The nationalization campaign promoted during the Estado Novo (1937-1945) interfered in the daily lives of immigrants and their descendents in Brazil - labeled as aliens because of the prevailing ethnicities and the differentiated cultures - requiring their assimilation (as a synonym for miscegenation) in the name of national unity. This study focuses on aspects of the military discourse related to this campaign and its objectives of forced assimilation, based on documents produced by Army officers working as agents for nationalization in the Itajai Valley, in the State of Santa Catarina, a region viewed as a paradigm of "encystment", straying from the principles of "Brazilianness". It seeks to demonstrate how - in the campaign by the military - a concept of nation-state prevailed which denied legitimacy to any form of ethnic belonging, in accordance with the very parameters of Brazilian nationalist ideology as fomented since the 19th century.

TL;DR: This article established the historical and transnational nature of one famous but little-understood African "nation" in Brazil and showed that such transnational black identities have evolved in a mutually transformative dialogue with the territorial nation.
Abstract: Theorists and observers of transnationalism, or globalization, tend to regard the phenomenon as new and as antagonistic to the territorial nation. This essay seeks to establish the historical and transnational nature of one famous but little-understood African "nation" in Brazil and to show that such transnational black identities have evolved in a mutually transformative dialogue with the territorial nation. Therefore, far from prefiguring the demise of the territorial nation, these and other such transnational phenomena have been critical to the very construction of the American territorial nation.

Abstract: Resumo O artigo tematiza as relacoes de parentesco cotidianas e rituais entre humanos e plantas por meio de uma etnografia do ciclo de vida da batata-doce, cultivada pelos Kraho: desde o plantio, passando pelo crescimento, ate a colheita, quando ocorre a “Festa da Batata”. O “aparentamento” mutuo entre as batatas e seus donos humanos envolve engajamentos corporais, afetivos e esteticos, implicando relacoes sociais de criacao, troca, predacao, transmissao de conhecimento xamânico e ritual. As plantas cultivadas sao sujeitos vivos e nao meras entidades biologicas passivas as intervencoes humanas. Elas fazem parte de emaranhados relacionais que abarcam outras plantas, animais e seres, o que se torna visivel na vivencia cotidiana nas rocas e, particularmente, nos cantos e nas performances rituais. Os saberes e as praticas kraho revelam uma outra compreensao do cultivo das plantas, reflexao esta que acompanha a reconceitualizacao das nocoes de humanidade, natureza e cultura pela etnologia a luz das teorias indigenas.
