Decree 528 restricts entry of people described as Indigenous to Asia or Africa

📅 28 Juni 1890 📍 Brazilië

Decree 528 declared entry generally open to people considered able to work, but excepted Indigenous people from Asia and Africa, who could enter only with authorization from Congress under separately set conditions. In the wake of abolition, the Republic wrote racialized migration rules into law while subsidizing immigration and reorganizing labor. The provision is direct evidence of exclusion; it does not by itself describe every immigration practice or the experience of every Black Brazilian.
