The process of self-affirmation of Brazilian immigrants in the United States
Keywords:
history, culture, society, colonizationAbstract
The objective of this study is to analyze the formation of cultural characteristics of the Brazilian people, based on historical facts that have contributed to the formation of this population. This article aims to develop a critical analysis of historical events and compare them with the present, in order to establish a parallel and then develop an understanding of what is now called "Brazilian identity" or the way Brazilians are, a sentiment often felt by immigrants in the United States. Bibliographic research was conducted considering the contributions of authors such as SOUSA (2015), FRAGOSO (2014), seeking to establish a parallel between the past and the present regarding the cultural formation of Brazilians, as well as to provide insights for a better understanding of historical events. It was concluded that many historical events, even when they did not directly influence the cultural formation of Brazilians, already showed a tendency towards it, suggesting that the formation of Brazilians is more closely related to the culture itself than previously assumed. Additionally, it was concluded that the unique way Brazilians perceive life is the result of a long historical process that has undergone some adaptations, which becomes even more evident in foreign territories.
