"[...] LE BRÉSILIEN TELLEMENT CONNU PARMI NOUS": LA CIRCULATION DES ŒUVRES DE LOURENÇO FILHO DANS LES BIBLIOTHÈQUES DU MEXIQUE (1933 - 1963)

Abstract

The text aims to analyze the circulation of the works of Lourenço Filho in Mexican libraries, in the period between 1933 and 1963. It is possible to affirm that the presence of these works in Mexico is indicative that they were part of the collections destined for the formation of normal schoolteachers, Primary Education leaders and school administrators, especially for offering readers principles of educational psychology, rural teacher training, experiences in Brazil and an overview of educational systems on a global scale. It can be concluded that the circulation of Lourenço Filho works in Mexican libraries is due to a network of relationships that he established with Mexican intellectuals, mediated by UNESCO and Crefal.
