Synopses:
In the 1990’s, for the first time, Brazilians were engaged in a process of leaving the country, searching for a better life elsewhere. During almost two decades, slowly but continuously, a great number of people have left, most of them in consequence of a long term economic crises.
As the country that has experienced the best process of integration of immigrants in History, Brazil’s approach on the subject is positively atypical. Brazilians do not usually, have big problems in integrating. As part of the Western culture, they acknowledge it, assimilate it and adjust - tough, the assimilation doesn’t hinder them from remaining Brazilians.
Being both white and black and not split as races, ethnic or religions groups, Brazilians are tropical souls longing to feel at home. The Brazilian culture knows that that integration means joining.
Recently, positive signs of the economic achievements of the Brazilian government began to point out a reverse in the “exodus”. Brazilian immigrants around the world start considering going back home. But, is that possible? Does that unforgettable place still exist? Is home still there?
