Brazilians in Ireland (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

This book presents the results of research into the process of Brazilians leaving for Ireland and aims to investigate the reasons for this process from a geographical perspective, using territory as a category of analysis. From a methodological point of view, we carried out bibliographical readings and fiches pertinent to the research problem, collected data from official organisations, especially the IBGE, and conducted semi-structured interviews with Brazilians living in Ireland. In order to understand this process, we considered not only the economic dimension, but also the political and social dimensions that influenced the decisions of the social subjects surveyed. We present the relationship between these Brazilians in this foreign territory, their perspectives and the reality they experience on a daily scale, without losing sight of broader relationships. Based on the data and information obtained from the narratives of the subjects surveyed, we believe that the economic dimension alone is not enough to understand why these Brazilians left the country, but must be combined with others, in which the interviewees' desires, above all linked to the search for security in the broadest sense, can be experienced socio-spatially.
