CRUZ MACHADO: AN ETHNOGRAPHICAL TAKE ON THE LANDSCAPE 100 YEARS AFTER THE ESTABLISHMENT OF POLISH SETTLEMENTS
The monograph describes the micro-world of the Polish-background community in the Brazilian municipality of Cruz Machado, which is one of the largest and most important centers of the Polish diaspora i South America. The work came to being as a result of field studies that were carried out by the author in two stages in 2013-2015 and therefore it captures the reality of the place in one hundred years after the initial settlings in the area. The places visited by the author include the main seat of the municipality, Santana, as well as numerous colonies such as Aprorriba, Linha Boa Ventura, Linha Colônia Nova, Linha Divisa, Linha dos Couros, Linha Fartura, Linha Guarapuava, Linha Iguaçu Norte, Linha Lageado Liso, Linha Palmital, Linha Papuan, Linha Pinhão, Linha Potingal, Pinaré, and Rio do Banho. The author made a hundred or so interviews with the inhabitants of Polish origin. The content of these conversations corresponds with the collection of nearly six thousand photographs that document landscape views, buildings, architectonic and decorative details, vegetation, animals, and people. The sources made at the field were supplemented with materials from private and church archives, official statistics, information from Polish and Brazilian academic texts, press, novels, and the content of websites and fast-developing social media at the time.
