Focusing on Portuguese migration to Rio de Janeiro between 1822 and 1850, Rosana Barbosa explores how economic and social hardships in Portugal drove many to seek better opportunities in Brazil. This period coincided with Brazil's post-independence boom, particularly in the coffee industry, highlighting the significant impact of immigration on the city's development and its historical context. The book delves into the complexities of migration and the resulting cultural dynamics, as well as the themes of xenophobia that emerged during this transformative era.
