"Accessible and recommended for general and specialized readers
interested in patterns of global migration as understood through
study of Brazilian culture and the Brazilian diaspora."--Library
Journal
"Extremely informative and thoroughly researched, this is a bravura
performance."--Choice
"This is a gem of a book! Margolis has skillfully woven a colorful
fabric here, with global snapshots of the Brazilian diaspora
supported by data from other researchers as well as her own. It is
easy to see its use in university undergraduate or graduate
courses, and it is both of great interest and accessible to the
general public, especially because Margolis writes so clearly and
cohesively."-- Americas Journal
"A significant, unique contribution to our understanding of recent
and contemporary transnational migration, diasporas, and the
mechanics of globalization."--Conrad Kottak, author of Assault on
Paradise: The Globalization of a Little Community in Brazil
"Articulate and thorough in considering the reasons so many
Brazilians have left their country, the diverse challenges and
obstacles that different kinds of Brazilians face when they move
abroad, and the cultural and social adaptations that occur as they
seek a better life in their host countries or return to
Brazil."--James N. Green, author of We Cannot Remain Silent:
Opposition to the Brazilian Military Dictatorship in the United
States
