Описание
In this insightful exploration, the narrative delves into the phenomenon of Brazilian émigrés, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of a country renowned for its vibrant culture and welcoming spirit. Maxine L. Margolis skillfully examines the motivations behind the movement of Brazilians abroad, investigating the myriad factors that compel individuals to leave their homeland in pursuit of new opportunities and experiences.
The book offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those who have chosen to embark on a journey away from the rhythms of samba and the passion of soccer that define Brazil's identity. Through rich personal stories and interviews, readers encounter a diverse array of émigrés, each with their own unique narratives and dreams that challenge preconceived notions about migration.
Margolis also reflects on the socio-economic landscape that fuels this wave of emigration, as well as the emotional complexities that accompany leaving one's roots behind. This exploration serves as a reminder of the deep ties to family and culture that persist even across borders.
Ultimately, the work invites consideration of what it means to be Brazilian in a global context, offering a profound commentary on identity, belonging, and the ceaseless quest for a better life beyond the familiar shores of Brazil.
