In the context of world wide migration and taking into account the developments of migration policies including labour migration schemes, circular migration, migration and development, and return migration, this research aimed at better defining the profile of the Brazilian migrants currently residing in various EU Member States. The results of this research can be seen as a contribution to the development of further policies, activities and academic research on this particular group. Indeed, in its quest of assisting migrants and answering the needs of all States involved in migratory movements, IOM aims at allowing policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders to develop their respective strategies but also to provide direct assistance to migrants. This research allowed for the collection of quantitative data and represents the first and largest quantitative study carried out on Brazilians residing in an irregular situation in Ireland, Portugal and Belgium. It was a challenge to reach those 1300 persons who agreed to answer the questionnaire. This study would not have been possible without the full involvement and dedication of the Head researcher Pedro Góis and from the staff in the IOM missions in Dublin, Lisbon and Brussels. The support from various stakeholders in the three countries has greatly facilitated the data collection and the contacts with migrants in irregular situation. I also want to thank Mrs Monica Pereira from the NGO Abraço in Belgium for her valuable contribution and constructive comments on the study as well as all the contributors in the three countries. Finally, the support from the IOM Headquarters and the cooperation with the IOM Office in Buenos Aires also contributed to consolidating different views on Brazilian migration to Europe. Thanks also goes to the European Commission (DG Justice, Freedom and Security)

  • Transnational Migrant Brazilian Women in “Pink Collar Jobs” in The
    © COPYRIGHT by Lucilia V. Tremura 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION To Ricardo, My Dear Son TRANSNATIONAL MIGRANT BRAZILIAN WOMEN IN “PINK COLLAR JOBS” IN THE GREATER WASHINGTON D.C. AREA BY Lucilia V. Tremura ABSTRACT The study of transnational migrant Brazilian women in “pink collar jobs” in the Greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area comprises thirty-four Brazilian women who chose the United States as their place to be called home. It is termed transnational because of the permanent ties connecting these women to their country of origin, Brazil, and their country of adoption, the United States. The expression “pink collar jobs” indicates low paid jobs, mainly performed by women, no expertise necessary, in the service sector. The Washington D.C. metropolitan area has become a new destination for immigrants with a large concentration of Latin Americans. Brazilian presence is among these diverse groups of immigrants, with an increasing participation on the market. This research focuses on transnational migration in women‟s context, with all the nuances that involve the process of migration and incorporation into the labor market. Three research questions explore the topic: ii 1. Why do Brazilian women engage in transnational migration from Brazil to the United States? 1. a. How do social networks affect their transnational migration? 2. How do the social construction of gender and ethnicity influence the occupational choices of this group of Brazilian women, in light of their backgrounds and the job perspectives they anticipated? 3. In what ways do pink collar jobs shape their identity, social interaction and job satisfaction? The answers to these questions delineate the main characteristics, aspirations and satisfactions of these migrant workers as they embrace the United States as their new home.

Received: 31 May 2010 / Accepted: 23 June 2010 / Published: 1 July 2010 Abstract: The starting point is the principle that there is no immigrant culture, but rather, different ways of living, coexisting and identifying oneself within the cultural worlds that each subject crosses on his or her social path. Here we study Brazilian immigrants in Portugal, working with the first wave (starting at the end of the 1980s) and the second wave (at the turn of the 20th to 21st century). We intend, firstly, to show how identity is reconstructed between two banks: the departure culture and the arrival culture. Secondly, we intend to give a voice to the most silent in the understanding of immigrants: the process of identity reconstruction of Brazilian immigrants is presented, resulting from ethno-biographic interviews. We will consider the cultural transfusion theory and observe the heterogeneous ways of living between cultures, whether by rejecting the departure culture (the Oblato‘s case), refusing the arrival one at a given moment (the mono-cultural subject according to the source culture), living in an ambivalent manner between the two (the multicultural self), or, finally, inventing a third bank, as the poets say, which corresponds to an attitude of including the cultural differences through which one crosses during his or her life history in an intercultural self (the Intercultural Transfuga).
