“…Attempting to explain the reasons behind the transformation in the profile and volume of Brazilians abroad, the literature suggests that the massive flow of Brazilians during the first Brazilian migration wave (1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) produced migrant pioneers who settled in the host societies and soon developed social and economic structures that provided support for the less well-off migrants to move and be accommodated in the host society (Siqueira, 2009;Kubal, et al 2011). Social network analysis, therefore, has been largely used by scholars of Brazilian migration to understand not only what motivates Brazilians to emigrate, but also their reasons for choosing particular destinations, how the Brazilians behave when they arrive in the host country, and how social ties provide facilities and benefits during the displacement process (see Fusco, 2005;Padilla, 2006a).…”

This article explores the effects of Brazil’s recent economic growth and the narrowing of the inequality gap on the second Brazilian migration wave to the UK over the last two decades. Migration-related research has emphatically argued that this ongoing international mobility results from transnational networks developed by pioneers who encouraged fellow citizens to travel. Although this paper considers social networks as an important factor shaping the movement of Brazilians abroad, we propose to debate contemporary Brazilian migration by shedding light on the national socio-economic policies implemented since the late 1990s. Thus, through a rigorous literature review of Brazilian transnational migration studies and multi-sited ethnography in Brazil and London, we focus particularly on how the opening up of the Brazilian economy to international capital flow, and the implementation of social programmes followed by the enlargement of its domestic consumer market, helps to explain the current increase and diversification of Brazilians abroad.
