MARTINS JUNIOR, Angelo    DIAS, Gustavo. Contemporary Brazilian migration: discourses and practices of Brazilians in London. []. , 209, pp.810-832. ISSN 0003-2573.

This article reflects on how Brazilians in London, who moved on the migratory project of working, saving money and return, readapt their aims after a period in the host society. Therefore, the text aims to understand the limits of analysis on Brazilian immigration based on the theoretical framework push-pull, which highlight economic reasons as the main points to define Brazilian migrants. Through participative observations and interviews, it was possible to comprehend how Brazilians once introduced new priorities in their lives, and thus reshape their lifestyle in London, their initial idea of working/saving money become somehow secondary.
