| Resumen en portugués | This article examines the developments that led Chinese migrant laborers to Brazil by analyzing documents written by late Qing dynasty diplomats and officials who traveled to Brazil to open up Chinese immigration routes. Qing officials used a word for immigration synonymous with colonization (yizhi). Brazil, to them, presented a viable option for both meanings due to its vast territory and inclusive citizenship laws. Late Qing officials’ concerns in opening immigration and trade routes between China and Brazil regarding Brazilian abolitionists’ concerns with emancipation, national independence, and the new nation’s desire to whiten its racial makeup are discussed. This essay explores what I call the aesthetics of exclusion to discuss the work of Brazilian visual culture in producing and circulating ideas about the Chinese as a race, therein contributing to a global discourse of Chinese exclusion as a necessary option for Brazilian modernization and its investments in racial whitening |
