Extract

The Japanese in Brazil may be called “an associational people in an unorganizational society.” More than fifty years ago, Oliveira Vianna, a pioneer in Brazilian social sciences, remarked: “The institutions of social solidarity are extremely scanty among our people. Here men live, as a rule, isolated either within the large estates or within their family circles. … The non-solidarity is complete. We cannot discover any trace of association among the neighbors for the sake of common utility” (Vianna 1920: 169–70).
