Brazil. Settlement, immigration and urbanization 

Support
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, , language: English, abstract: This paper specifically describes the experience of settlement, immigration and urbanization in Brazil within the context of the country’s overall political, economic and demographic development. It is an inquiry into various historical developments influencing structure, culture, economics and racial composition on a country level. It also examines trends in early settlement, regions, immigration divided into four distinct periods, and the trajectory of its urban transition. It is possible that the lessons learned from a country that has experienced such a compelling immigration and rapid urbanization could hold keys for other countries currently undergoing this process. It is the intention of this study to provide the basis for such an inquiry.
