Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Spanish and Portuguese.
The objective of this research is to contribute to the studies of intellectual and diplomatic history involving Brazil and the United States. In this project I intend to recover and situate the work of the triad formed by the second President of Stanford University and Geologist, John Casper Branner, and the Brazilian Diplomats Joaquim Nabuco and Manuel de Oliveira Lima, as a decisive starting point in the promotion of Brazil and the Portuguese-Brazilian culture in the USA and relations between the two countries. Disputing the belief that the flourishing of Portuguese language studies, and that the relations between the two countries derive almost exclusively from the Good Neighbor Policy - throughout the 1930s and 1940s -, I argue that the seeds of Luso-Brazilians Studies were planted in the USA in the first two decades of the 20th century. Thus, Nabuco and Oliveira Lima, under the leadership of John Casper Branner, were the first agents of change, and not Carmen Miranda or Disney animations such as Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros, emblematic symbols of this policy that structured US-Latin America between the 1920s and 1940s.
