Abstract

The research consists of an institutional study of memory and history of a program in the city of Mississauga/ON, Canada, as a public policy of reception and social recognition for immigrants, through the lens of Axel Honneth's theory. The general objective is to understand the social memory and institutional history of the Newcomer Reception and Assessment Centre financed by public management and executed through Catholic public schools in the city of Mississauga/Ontario, in Canada, based the narratives of a Brazilian immigrant group, about the inclusion, belonging and social recognition theorized by Axel Honneth, from 2019 to 2022. The social relevance of this research is to recognize the importance of public management and government interference involves in issues involving the eradication of historical inequalities and marginalization arising from immigration. The method is qualitative-descriptive and uses semi-structured interview with a manager and immigrants as a tool for data collection, using content analysis based on memorial narratives. The belonging and social recognition of Brazilian immigrants who arrived in Canada between 2019 and 2022 will be an in-depth theme in this study. It is inferred that there is a great effort on Canada in the creation and maintenance of policies adopted to assist immigrants in their integration into the new territory in the inference that contributes to Social Recognition, both in the individual and in the public spheres.
