This dissertation examines the development of poor relief and child welfare policy in Jamaica during the interwar years. It establishes the paradigms for accessing relief and how this influenced broader discussions of poverty, class and citizenship in society. As such it shows how these concerns about poverty, in the public sphere, influenced state policy as it related to tackling juvenile delinquency and destitution in society. Currently, the historiography of the 1930s emphasizes the role of labor unrest as a propelling force to political change in the Caribbean. My thesis, while accepting this premise, uses the poor relief administration to elaborate upon the response of colonial administrators to pauperism in Jamaica. Financial difficulties restricted the amount of assistance provided to the aged and infirm, single mothers, orphans and juvenile delinquents. Inevitability, access to assistance became tinged with tensions of race, class and gender in the island. I conclude, therefore, that colonial administrators used the poor relief administration to intervene in the dialectic of poverty, class, citizenship and gender especially in the rehabilitation of destitute, displaced and delinquent children.

O período destacado estende-se da vigência das Leis Orgânicas de Ensino - ?anos 1940? - à aprovação da Lei 5692/71. Os acordos de cooperação técnica e financeira entre o Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC), o Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), a United States Agency for International Developement (USAID) e organismos precedentes foram o principal objeto de análise. Destacou-se o papel exercido pela Comissão Brasileiro-Americana para o Ensino Industrial (CBAI) no período do nacional-desenvolvimentismo, privilegiando o estudo dos seus boletins, tomados como fontes primárias. Para os ?anos 1960? considerou-se a Aliança para o Progresso e o advento da ditadura civil-militar do Movimento de 1964, continuadores das políticas de formação da mão de obra técnicaindustrial em acordo com os interesses do capital nacional associado aos interesses internacionais. O Relatório Final da USAID, sobre os acordos bilaterais, constituiu-se em fonte primária essencial. A análise documental revelou a atuação do Estado brasileiro no sentido de providenciar a formação de técnicos para o projeto desenvolvimentista e em benefício da acumulação do capital. Para além da formação profissional no modelo liberal, buscou-se uma formação moral, ideológica e cultural inspirada pelas agências externas e no modelo de sociedade norte-americano. / Abstract: This text aims to analyze the first bilateral cooperation agreements for industrial education between Brazil and the United States. The investigated period goes from the beginning of the Organic Laws of Teaching - Forties - until the approval of the Law 5692/71. Agreements on technical and financial cooperation between the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), the Interamerican Development Bank (IDB), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and previous governmental organisms were the main object of analysis. We emphasized the role played by the Brazilian-American Commission for Industrial Education (CBAI) in the national developmentalist period, privileging the study of its newsletters, taken as primary sources. For the sixties, the Alliance for Progress and the advent of the civil-military dictatorship of the Movement of 1964 was considered, continuers of the training policies of technical-industrial manpower in accordance with the interests of the national capital associated with international interests. The final USAID Report about the bilateral agreements consisted in an essential primary source. The analysis of the documents revealed the performance of the Brazilian state in training technicians for the developmentalist project and in benefit of the capital accumulation. Apart from training in the liberal model, a moral, ideological and cultural formation was sought, inspired by external agencies and in the American society model. / Mestrado / Filosofia e História da Educação / Mestre em Educação
