Our main objective in this research is to investigate how the relationship was established between Brazilian workers at Companhia de Tecidos Paulista (PE) and their foreign employees, during the course of the Second World War and in the immediate post-war period. Period that covers the years 1939 to 1946. We seek to understand how Brazil's entry into the war against the Axis countries (Germany, Italy and Japan) impacted these work and coexistence relationships in the city of Paulista, known for housing a large number of foreigners in its factories and working village. We will also analyze the reverberations of the international scenario at the national level, and the establishment of the Estado Novo (1937-1945). We decided, for the construction of our research, to uncover the traces and traces identified in three sets of documents: the labor processes of the extinct Conciliation and Judgment Boards (JCJ) of Pernambuco, the documentation of the extinct Delegacy of Political and Social Order of Pernambuco (DOPS -PE) and some periodicals. We therefore intend to contribute to studies that address the worlds of work in Brazil, the experiences of workers in the Labor Court, the Second World War and the History of Pernambuco.
