Abstract

The article deals with the perceptions of Oliveira Lima and Salvador de Mendonça about the insertion of Brazil in America. Lima and Mendonça were diplomats and intellectuals who discussed the ideas resurged in Brazil from the 1870’s decade, which disposed opposition to the practice of the servile work and favorable to the republican objectives. Such ideas were also common to other latin american intellectuals who had as “background” reflections about Monroe’s doctrine as well as Corollary Roosevelt. We have studied these ideas through journalistic articles and from complete author’s works, observing the current discourses in the researched decades. The discussions were analyzed from the concept of generation, by Karl Mannheim, for whom the generations are human groups that glimpse the reality in a common way, because they were developed in the same historical and social process.

 

KEY WORDS: Monroe’s doctrine, Oliveira Lima, Salvador de Mendonça.
