A quarta onda da imigração brasileira em Portugal: uma história breve

Abstract

This paper analyzes the most recent flow of Brazilians to Portugal, which started in 2015 and ended abruptly in early 2020, with the Covid-19 pandemic. This flow was, perhaps, the most voluminous and varied of those that involved Brazilians in the last decades, being also the briefest. Its recent nature and the scarcity of other studies on the subject make it difficult to read thoroughly. Therefore, the purpose of this text is to mobilize and interpret various statistical sources, as well as to disseminate the results of some interviews conducted between August 2019 and January 2020, with institutional representatives and around forty immigrants. The combination of statistical information with the interviews allows picturing a portrait of the new movements.
