Meer over het boek

The book explores the significant wave of Brazilian emigration that began in the late 1980s, driven by economic crises. It highlights the experiences of the millions of Brazilians who sought better opportunities abroad, particularly in the United States, Japan, Portugal, and Italy. By 2009, around three million Brazilians had settled overseas, marking a notable shift in the country's migration patterns. The narrative delves into the motivations and challenges faced by these emigrants as they navigated life in foreign lands.
