Abstract

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]
