Fluidity in Brazil: The History of Migrants

Statement of the Topic:

As the culture of the United States of America is widely spread and been colonize by other country it is therefore clear that I’m interested how US still dominate their beliefs and culture on their country even though there are colonizers who wants to have the opportunity to enter the state.

The presentation I’ve working on is how I’ve been interested in the development of the race in Brazilian Stage and wanting to know how Pedro Cabral studied and developed the commitment of his colonization in the Latin America and how Portuguese colonizers continued to developed this traces. Specifically, I would like to study the progress of the Brazil migrants as it was already considered in earlier times. They are only accepted almost through their political and geographical thoughts as some claimed that the Latin part of America was a part of the Negrito culture and society.

This focuses on the way how Portuguese, Europeans, Brazilian-Americans effect on the migration percentage of the Brazil’s culture and what causes it to still remain a Brazilian immigrant though there are such

    Over the four centuries of Portuguese involvement in the Atlantic slave trade, an estimated 10 to 15 million Africans were transported to the European colonies in the Americas. Of these, over 3.5 million were taken to Brazil. Brazil was the biggest importer of slaves and took in an even greater amount than the United States. What influence did these 3.5 million Africans have on Brazil? The international slave trade that took place from 1538-1888 changed Brazil’s culture profoundly. Many Of Brazil’s cultural identities derive from African descent such as some cuisines and musical rhythms. With an economy based on free labour they were able to get huge economic status and finally there are African infused religions that are practiced in Brazil. It was the seventeenth-century Jesuit preacher and missionary, Frei Antonio Vieira, who said that Brazil had 'the body of America and the soul of Africa' and this description continues, to some extent, to hold true.…

    Brazil is a vast country rich in natural resources and beauty in the continent of South America. Located in the east-central coast of South America, it is the largest country in South America occupying nearly half the continent. Brazil’s topography is vast with its most priceless treasures inarguably being the Amazon Rain Forest. The Amazon River and its components attribute to two fifths of the country with the Amazon Basin making up 40% of the continent of South America (“Brazil”, n.d.). The Portuguese settlers were the first to arrive in Brazil and quickly found they were not alone, discovering the many tribes of natives that called Brazil their home for hundreds and maybe even thousands of years. These Portuguese settlers were not determined to conquer as the Spaniards, but were poor sailors who were seeking items for trade. This made it easy for the settlers to intermarry with the natives as well as the slaves they had brought from Africa, creating the mix of races known in Brazil today (Geographia, 2006). The Portuguese were not the only ones to seek Brazil to escape their situation and they were quickly joined by many immigrants such as French, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, African and Arab, with Portuguese remaining the dominant and official language of Brazil. These cultures have blended into one…

    The Federative Republic of Brazil, located in South America, is the largest country in Latin America and the fifth-largest country in the world (Burns, 1993). The roots leading to the establishment of the federative republic began more than half a millennium ago. In 1500, a Portuguese expedition left Portugal headed for the southern tip of Africa, to sail around the Cape of Good Hope and then go north to India (Skidmore, 1999). However, the lead ship, commanded by Pedro Álvares Cabral, went off course into the Atlantic eventually reaching what is now the Brazilian state of Bahia (Burns, 1993). They docked in Brazil on April 23, 1500 (Skidmore, 1999).…
