Abstract
This study analyzes the reports presented by Johann Jakob von Tschudi and José Fernandes da Costa Pereira Junior on events in the Province of Espírito Santo, Brazil, in 1860. Tschudi, ambassador of the government of the Helvetic Confederation, produced his report after Colonies, especially the Colony Santa Leopoldina, where Swiss immigrants, their countrymen, were sitting. Costa Pereira Junior, president of the Province, reacted with revulsion to the description presented by the visitor, opposing himself vehemently. The study illustrates events and shows the present play in socio-political and economic relations at the heart of the colonialist project of the Imperial Government involving diverse actors. © 2018, Editora da P U C R S.
