This paper analyzes the relationship among coffee labor needs, the flow of immigrants to Sao Paulo, and the immigration policies of the state government from the decline of slavery in the 1880s to the onset of the Great Depression. Generally, the study seeks to determine to what degree and by what criteria the immigration program of São Paulo may be considered a “success”. The author uses this, then to help specify the changing relationship between the coffee planters and the state government.
