O processo de fixação do migrante brasileiro  em Londres: a importância das práticas cotidianas na elaboração de sua identidade

Abstract: Ao percorrer algumas das ruas e avenidas do principal centro turístico e comercial de Londres, é inevitável que o caminhante atento se surpreenda, não apenas com o forte poder econômico que esta área denota, mas, também, com a variedade linguística emanada do grande fluxo de pessoas que circulam pelas longas calçadas disputando uma "brecha" dentro de uma loja qualquer.

“…This has led Werbner () to write of “working class cosmopolitanism.” Still, as Igarashi and Saito () remind us, cosmopolitanism is often tied to possession of economic as well as particular kinds of cultural and social capital.
