Summary

Originally published in Portuguese as Brasileiros Nos Estados Unidos and heavily revised by the author for the English edition, New Immigrants, New Land offers an incisive, nuanced, and sociodemographic profile of Brazilians in Massachusetts, the second largest Brazilian immigrant population in the United States. Ana Cristina Braga Martes unpacks the complex intragroup dynamics of this population with particular emphasis on work life, the role of the church, and on the always-churning issues of racial and ethnic identity formation.
