Immigration to Brazil between the late 19th century to early 20th century
In the period between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, Brazilian immigration policy became restrictive of migration by populations from Africa in an effort to shift the population's racial demographic from being diverse to a white majority one. These policies worked by encouraging migration of people of European decent and making it difficult for people of African descent to enter the country. This same stance was imposed on Asians. These policies differed sharply from policies in the United States that enforced segregation and racial inequality. Brazil's policies were rooted in its history of interracial blending and relationships between the native people of Brazil, Europeans, and Africans. Source: Lauderbaugh, George.

South Africa and Paraguay
In 1974, South Africa and Paraguay announced an attitude of friendship between the two states. It was the beginning of an era of friendship between countries on opposite sides of the Atlantic, coming at a period in which South Africa was isolated from the rest of the Western world which it had up to this point so depended on for support and recognition. South African efforts to form links with Latin American states was driven by a desire to oppose the world's efforts to isolate South Africa because of its policies of Apartheid.South Africa sought links with Paraguay to find new markets for its manufactured goods.

White farmers fleeing revolutions in Africa
Latin American countries like Paraguay expressed an interest in attracting farmers from Southern Africa who were fleeing the possibility of majority rule, intensifying guerilla wars, and revolutionary wars for independence. Paraguay observed the expertise and experience of these farmers and expressed an interest in utilizing their technical expertise to develop land and the economy in Paraguay. Government officials travelled to Rhodesia( now Zimbabwe) to advertise the possibility of resettling of farmers to Paraguay. That visit prompted 40 Rhodesian farmers to visit Argentina to explore possibilities of farming there. At international talks, West German delegates made an offer to Latin American governments of 150 million dollars in order for them to accept 30 000 white farmers of German descent from Namibia, South Africa, and Rhodesia.

What are you plans for improving this article? Are these the three topics that you plan on adding? If so, I think these are excellent additions that are relevant when discussing African immigration to Latin America. I would also recommend adding more to the lead of this article to present the most important information that your overall article discusses. So far, you present your research and findings in a neutral way; I do not see any bias and you utilize a proper encyclopedic tone. You also seem to know how to cite your information, which is an important aspect to any Wikipedia article. Remember to cite as much as possible. Overall, I think you are off to great start and I hope my suggestions help. Maya12345 (talk) 23:13, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I believe your proposed changes are strong and it is clear that your additions reflect the information of a reliable source (linked). I think it would be helpful if a background or intro to the proposed additions was added. Furthermore, give details as to why the German government paid Latin American governments to accept 30,000 Africans of German decent. Which countries were paid specifically and what was the outcome? Other than that, your information seems to contribute to the rest of the Wikipedia page and is backed by good sources. Good job! CaraTop PR4C4R41H0 (talk) 15:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

November 14, 2017 This article looks very good and is informative about the countries is talks about. One suggestion would be to change the way sources are cited. Instead of actually writing the citation after the paragraph make it into a superscript and add it to the resources section of this page. Another suggestion would be to expand more (if you can) on the countries that only have a number listed next to that countries name. Go into further detail like what was done for Brazil (again, only if you can). Good luck! Shadooper (talk) 20:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Peer Review Follow-Up
Overall, the additions that you have made has greatly improved this article from the last time that I read it. However, as Shadooper mentions, you need to make a quick fix to the way you are citing information on Wikipedia. You have to use a superscript whenever you mention something that needs to be credited and then you can place the full citation in the References section of your article. Do you plan to add more to your article? My other recommendation is to elaborate more and present your research as much as possible wherever you deem to be appropriate in the article. Just remember to maintain your neutral tone and I think that your final article will be a masterpiece. I hope my suggestions help. Maya12345 (talk) 14:45, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
