Da diáspora às etnopaisagens: diversidade e pertencimento nas migrações transnacionais

Abstract

The discussion in this article is associated with the experience of field researches in four Brazilian cities, Brasília, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, between 2011 and 2015, having as guideline the negotiations for belongingness performed by contemporary immigrant communities in Brazil. From questions made by Stuart Hall in “Thinking the diaspora”, mainly the question of the Caribbean diaspora, we discuss the new belongingness negotiation and the imaginary desire to the return to the land left. Exploring this tension is the objective of this article, bringing the debate to the new immigrant communities in Brazil.
