Immigration, Ethnicity, and National Identity in Brazil, 1808 to
the Present examines the immigration to Brazil of millions of
Europeans, Asians and Middle Easterners beginning in the nineteenth
century. Jeffrey Lesser analyzes how these newcomers and their
descendants adapted to their new country and how national identity
was formed as they became Brazilians along with their children and
grandchildren. Lesser argues that immigration cannot be divorced
from broader patterns of Brazilian race relations, as most
immigrants settled in the decades surrounding the final abolition
of slavery in 1888 and their experiences were deeply conditioned by
ideas of race and ethnicity formed long before their arrival. This
broad exploration of the relationships between immigration,
ethnicity and nation allows for analysis of one of the most vexing
areas of Brazilian study: identity.
