Highlighting the contrasts, downplaying the divergences: insertion and visibility tactics of Brazilians in Portugal

Abstract

The article analyses the insertion and visibility strategies adapted by Brazilians in Portugal, giving a ‘privileged’ voice to Brazilian association leaders and key informants tied to these organizations. The findings presented are the result of twenty-three in-depth interviews with representatives of sixteen associations, as well as information gathered through informal conversations with association members and volunteers, and through participant observation. The paper sets out to scrutinize two key questions. How do Brazilians perceive group differentiation and stereotyping, and how do these variables impede insertion and acceptance on the part of Portuguese society? What integration and visibility tactics are adapted by Brazilian collective organizations in order to facilitate community insertion?
