Abstract
This essay details the emergence of an idea of Danube Swabians as eternal colonizers, created by and about one group that settled Entre Rios, in the state of Paraná in postwar southern Brazil. This essay traces the wanderings of these Danube Swabians from south-eastern Europe to Brazil, and it explores how the intersection of their memories of multiple expulsions and survival were coupled with their characterizations as Germans in both Europe and Brazil. In turn, it shows how the colonists and others used those couplings to construct the basis of their trans-Atlantic identity as Germans/Swabians/Brazilians.
