“…As Sales (1998) and Marcus (2009) point out, while economic and political conditions in Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s may explain why Brazilians decided to leave the country, it is the development and expansion of social networks that occasions specific migration patterns. It is clear that social networks operate in both cases, as relatives and friends of migrants overwhelmingly provide first‐time migrants with financial assistance for the trip as well as housing and employment assistance in the destination.…”

Como afirmavam meus interlocutores, era possível encontrar "tudo do Brasil", o que possibilitava reproduzir muitas das práticas alimentares que mantinham antes da migração para os Estados Unidos 4 .…”
