Through an exploratory research, with bibliographical and documental survey, using the inductive method, this paper aims to highlight the importance of the reception and integration network of international immigrants in the city of Dourados, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, based on the thought of SILVA and SANTOS (2020) on the vulnerability of immigrants and SILVA and PIRES (2020) on the construction of a support network in the universities of the region. For this, the text is structured in three specific objectives: firstly, to contextualize the immigration flow to the city of Dourados; secondly, to understand the support network of these immigrants, and finally, to analyze the data on the reception and integration of young immigrants in the region. The conclusions point out that the protagonism of the immigrants themselves, especially young people, in the political organization of their demands, has been a preponderant factor for their claims to be taken into consideration by the public authorities.

The Guianas are an important field in the Caribbean migratory system, whereby goods, objects, currencies, and populations circulate for different reasons: geographical, cultural proximity, climatic, geopolitical and socioeconomic factors. From the 1960s and 1970s, Haitian migration increased in the Guianas. Five decades later, after the January 2010 earthquake, the migratory spaces were intensified in the region, Brazil became part of them as a country of residence and transit to reach French Guiana and Suriname. In 2013, the routes were altered. Some migrants started to use the Republic of Guyana to enter Brazil through the border with Roraima, in the Amazon, or to cross the border towards Suriname and French Guiana. This article is divided into two levels. First, it describes the way in which migrants' practices and trajectories intersect national borders in the Guianas. Then, it analyzes the migratory system, documents and papers, and the problems that the different Haitian migratory generations raise in space and time. The ethnographic research is based on the Triple Border Brazil, Colombia and Peru, but also in Suriname, French Guiana and Haiti. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to analyze the migration of Swabian Germans to the state of Paraná in the post-World War II context, from a theoretical-methodological approach that emphasizes the simultaneous and articulated performance of the different scales and their respective actors, resources and interests, as important definers of the migratory process. For this, secondary data from specialized bibliography and census sources are used. As a result, the analysis made it possible to configure a renewed look at the migratory process of the past, as well as providing elements for greater understanding and understanding of contemporary migratory phenomena, thus stimulating the formulation of future research agendas.

In the 1970s and 1980s, migratory flows of Portuguese and luso-Africans from old Portuguese African colonies towards to São Paulo were the result of the pressures of difficult and complex African and Portuguese politics. Three very different cultural experiences were in play: that of the portuguese colony, the african context, and the Brazilian character of the destination, Sao Paulo. This paper explores the migrant's complex displacement experiences, the insertion of the migrant into the new context and the conflicts of identity that this migratory process entailed. We concentrate on the recent past, which has not been extensively researched. We use a method we call "summarized life-histories", which seemed appropriate, as we didn't know what the immigrants would tell us. We present a number of specific cases to exemplify our analysis. Through them, we can see that memories refer to events, people and places from the three continents, through the conscious and unconscious construction of multiple identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper three socially relevant topics are discussed: the evolution of migration patterns in Portugal, the social construction of 'the immigrant' and last decade's evolution of the numbers and characteristics of foreign nationals in Portuguese prisons. If there has been an historical tendency to associate immigration and crime, recent research has proved that this is not always accurate and that immigrants can have a positive impact on societies' demography and dynamics (Rosa et al., 2003). In this paper it is argued that, even though there is a strong evidence of the increase in the proportion of foreign nationals in prisons, there is a lack of knowledge about the different scenarios of foreign nationals' criminality, depending on their status (legal versus illegal, residents versus non residents). By providing this discussion we expect to contribute to the deconstruction of the stereotypes that relate foreign nationals to crime. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper developed an investigation about the trajectory of Portuguese merchant Antônio José de Araújo (1791-1851) in municipality of Morretes, between 1804 and 1849. In this framework, the purpose of this study is to highlight the forms of social domination exercised by Portuguese who inhabited municipalities of south coast of Province of São Paulo in the first half of nineteenth century. Thus, it is shown that the control of the credit market was crucial for traders formed a dependent entourage. Sometimes these dependents were familiar from their creditors. It was impractical to small traders achieve withdraw from these retinues [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper intends to investigate the new patterns of relatedness constructed in the migratory context. The place chosen for such enterprise is the Brazilian region of Governor Valadares, known as a center of international emigration. It aims to understand how the family relations are reconstructed during the absence of the migrants, through three basic axles: 1) the project of production of the house, through the sending of remittances and the constitution of other forms of co-substantiality; 2) the care with the children who remain in Brazil and the circulation of children in transnational space; and, finally, 3) the relation between couples divided by the distance.

The paper analyses Brazilian immigrants' experiences in Portugal. These immigrants came from Governador Valadares, a Brazilian city located in the state of Minas Gerais. The research demonstrates the existence of processes of "social hiddeness" on the part of the immigrants, who avoid being recognized in public. We also identify a division between immigrants who consume goods considered superfluous and those who focus exclusively on the accumulation of resources, avoiding expenses with leisure, for example. The Valadarenses devalue morally the immigrants' consumption they consider superflous, associating this kind of consumtion to a depreciation of the family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
