| Description: | The main objective of this study is an analysis of the discourse that took place around a contract for rice production in Costa Rica, which sought to bring Chinese farmers to the country during a time period where these immigrants were prohibited from entering Costa Rican territory. The paper seeks to use the legislative debate around this contract as an illustration in order to analyze the rhetoric used for and against Chinese immigration and the so called “yellow race”, particularly within the political class of Costa Rica during the first decades of the twentieth century. The general objective of this approach is to demonstrate that a homogenous discourse did not exist around this ethnic/racial issue in Costa Rica at that time |
