In Immigration and Xenophobia Rosana Barbosa discusses Portuguese migration to Rio de Janeiro from 1822 to 1850 as a significant aspect of the city's history. During the first half of the nineteenth century, many Portuguese fled the difficult economic and social conditions in Portugal for better economic opportunities in post-independence Brazil, which was experiencing a boom that was fuelled by such commodities as coffee.Review Quotes
Rosana Barbosa's Immigration and Xenophobia adds to this narrow historiography by examining the settlement of Portuguese immigrants in Brazil between 1822 and 1850....This study will be of particular interest to those who have enjoyed the social histories of Zephyr Frank and Mary Karasch on the same era in Rio de Janeiro.
