MARTINEZ RODRIGUEZ, Marcela. Colonization and immigration in Paraguay. The case of the Cosme colony. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.168, pp.25-47.  Epub 06-Feb-2023. ISSN 2448-7554.  https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v42i168.855.

This paper calls attention to colonization and immigration policies in Paraguay during the nineteenth century. This study adopts a social history perspective to explain the Cosme colony dynamics and explain how the immigration and colonization process was carried out in Paraguay. Even though this paper shows only one example of private colonization, we can identify representative trends in the Paraguayan case and, with this, propose new objects of study to place it in the historiography of immigration and colonization. In Paraguay, the massive migratory processes were late in relation to other Latin American countries; they responded to need that the war had provoked but at the same time they generated other types of social and economic conflicts.

Palabras llave : Colonization; Immigration; Paraguay; Latin America; socialist colonies.
