This article is the result of a reflection on the uses of the mother tongue among German immigrants and their linguistic capital during the nationalization of ethnic schools during the Estado Novo period. The article seeks to establish understandings about the relationship of schools as fundamental institutions of immigrant colonies with cultural practices in Germany, and how the mandatory use of Portuguese inside and outside school spaces generated a process of struggle, disputes, and resistance ended in mobilization language as strategic resources. To analyze the strategic use of language in German immigration, we used the conceptual apparatus of Pierre Bourdieu (1996), as well as semi-structured interviews carried out with four immigrants and German descendants, allowing us to understand how language is determinant in the construction of the social world and in Power relations.
KEYWORDS: German Immigrants. Ethnic Schools. Nationalization of the Language. Linguistic Capital.
