Abstract

This paper analyzes the representations of the Brazilian Northeast produced in the pages of The New York Times in the context immediately preceding the official entry of the United States in World War II, on the last days of 1941. It appropriates the discussions about representation and space to think about ways in which the region is represented on pages of such newspaper. Examines news, reports and book reviews, some texts and maps showing images of a Northeast linked to various topics including business opportunities, Axis subversive actions and international tourism. Also it construes similarities and differences between various spaces, including the West, the Northeast of Gilberto Freyre, the Amazon and the Brazilian South of Italian and German immigrants. In addition, relates these representations with the visions of Latin America that circulated in the United States, the situation of war and the actions of the US government approximation with Brazil.
