The following chapter addresses the subjectivization of the International Proletariat as a transcultural, collective identity construction of the libertarian subculture, using the examples of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. This process was impacted by comparable transnational models of socio-cultural patterns of action and behavior, such as the formation of libertarian labor union federations, the organization of an autonomous infrastructure of community centers and schools. Within this infrastructure the movements organized theater productions, leisure time activities and political debates to mobilize the subaltern classes for the social struggle.

The first to settle were the Portuguese. Their colonial influences marked the alimentation and cuisine in Brazil until today in many ways. In the 19th century Brazil was among the main destinations for the European mass-migration and the food of the immigrants, mainly from Italy, Portugal, Ottoman Empire and Germany, influenced the regional cuisine of their main settlements. These millions which came to Brazil since 1500 brought their plants, animals, food habits and religious taboos, recipes and so on as cultural baggage in the migration process. Altogether they formed the actual, transcultural fusion-cuisine of Brazil. This article tries to give a broad overview over some aspects of these migration-processes.

Vegetarian newspapers circulated within the infrastructure of the libertarian movements, and already in 1899 the vegetarian restaurant was included in the social center of the libertarian movement in Buenos Aires, Casa del Pueblo, as well as the colony of german immigrants in Parana, Zukunft, called themselves in 1908 vegetarians. Resumo: No contexto da imigração de massa europeia a America Latina entre 1870 e 1920 o início do vegetarismo nas Americas fiz parte da contracultura libertaria transatlântico. Jornais vegetarianos circulavam dentro da infraestrutura dos movimentos libertários e já em 1899 o restaurante vegetariano era parte integral do centro social do movimiento libertário em Buenos Aires, a casa del pueblo, e no mesmo jeito a colônia dos imigrantes alemães em Paraná, Zukunft, se declararam vegetarianos em 1908. No contexto da imigração de massa européia, chegaram, entre 1870 e 1920, cerca de onze milhões de imigrantes na América Latina. Nove e meia milhões se concentraram em regiões agrícolas e centros urbanos na Argentina, Brasil e Uruguai, como a cidade e o estado de São Paulo, onde formaram uma grande parte da população. Uma parte imigrou para trabalhar no campo, nos crescentes mercados da agroexportação para o mercado mundial, p.e. café ou trigo, a outra parte formou a base da mão de obra nas cidades. Cerca de 40% dos imigrantes eram italianos, seguidos dos espanhóis, portugueses e em escala menor dos habitantes dos impérios alemão, russo, turco e austro-húngaro, além de imigrantes de outras partes do mundo, como os japoneses 1. Os imigrantes constituíram a maioria das classes subalternas nas crescentes metrópoles urbanas. E estavam submetidos as más condições de vida, moradia, trabalho, altos custos de vida e exclusão política. Tudo isso concorreu para uma alta taxa de migrações internas e de remigração 2. Por outro lado, muitos deles participaram ativamente nos movimentos sociais, que se formaram nesse contexto 3. As primeiras organizações dos imigrantes eram mutualistas 4 , no início na base de origem nacional e regional como a Sociedad Española de Socorros Mutuos, fundada em Buenos Aires em 1858, onde foi fundada a Unione degli Operai Italiani também no mesmo ano. Logo depois se formaram as organizações com base de origem regional como em 1890 a Union Calabresa em Buenos Aires. O circulo napolitano era um dos maiores grupos em Montevideo em 1896, e o centro gallego era um importante centro no Rio de Janeiro. Logo depois, foram fundados os primeiros sindicatos influenciados pelas ideologias libertárias 5 , no fim do século XIX. Assim, os imigrantes participaram com os subalternos locais no conflito social. A primeira greve geral aconteceu em Buenos Aires, em 1902, e, no Rio de Janeiro, em 1903. Houve também revoltas populares como a Revolta da Vacina no Rio de Janeiro em 1904 6. Os movimentos libertários no espaço do atlântico, criaram jornais e revistas como própria mídia de propaganda e comunicação 7. Por meio da troca de jornais e da disponibilizacao dos mesmos nas bibliotecas se deu um intercâmbio continuo, de forma que os trabalhadores emigrados na América do Sul convocavam seus concidadaos a nao irem para lá e informavam sobre as más condicoes de vida. Essas chamadas foram feitas em italiano, alemao, espanhol e português. Logo depois, eles fundaram uma infraestrutura de centros 8 sociais e escolas, nas quais a contracultura libertária conseguiu transmitir os valores e pontos da identificação de um movimento operário além das fronteiras nacionais, o assim chamado proletariado internacional. A comunicação e a infraestrutura autônoma eram dois fundamentos da cultura do atlântico libertário 9. Os atores desse processo eram ativistas internacionais como Errico Malatesta, Creaghe entre outros, e, ainda mais importantes eram os movimentos operários que se organizaram em sindicatos.
