Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article aims to analyze the integration of refugees from the global South in the workplace of small and medium enterprises in the city of São Paulo, based on interpersonal relationships between Brazilian employers, refugee workers, and Brazilian workers. The literature focuses on South-South migration, refugees in Brazil, and their stereotypes in the workplace. The research was qualitative, using a case study. Semi-structured individual interviews and non-participant observation were conducted with 28 respondents: 7 refugee workers (2 Haitians, 2 Angolans, 1 Congolese, 1 Nigerian, and 1 Beninese); 7 Brazilian employers (4 owners and 3 managers in the services, commerce, and industry sectors); and 14 Brazilian co-workers. Results show managerial incentive to different forms of communication seeking to break the language barrier as well as explicit racism. The employers only began to worry about the integration of refugees when they had problems with Brazilians, such as disrespect for Halal food of Muslim refugees and the perception that refugees transmit diseases. Brazilian workers and employers stereotype refugees from African countries (including Haiti) as a homogeneous group of “black Africans,” reflecting a total lack of knowledge about their geographical and cultural diversity. This lack of knowledge strongly influences interpersonal relationships and makes it difficult for refugees to integrate into the workplace. This article contributes to the reflection on South-South migration, since the literature usually explores South-North and North-North migration.

Abstract Refugees are forcibly displaced people who fled their home countries due to persecutions because of their religion, nationality, political opinion, race, or being part of a particular social group. Brazilian Law 9474/1997 recognizes people who are fleeing a situation of severe and generalized violation of human rights as refugees. According to Brazilian law and Constitution, refugees have the same rights as Brazilians. However, my research with 29 refugees living in the states of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro shows that refugees are disproportionately affected by the Brazilian responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This article discusses how refugees in Brazil are affected by federal responses to the pandemic. I conducted 29 semi-structured phenomenological interviews with refugees between March 27, 2020, and April 06, 2020. These interviews were analyzed considering responses adopted by the Brazilian government (at the federal level) to respond to COVID-19. I conclude that refugees are affected by the closure of the borders and their rights to documentation, healthcare, and social assistance (the emergency benefit) are violated.

Refugees have adopted solidarity actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, even after being left behind during health emergencies. This article contributes to the literature on solidarity and asylum by discussing refugees’ solidarity narratives towards vulnerable Brazilian groups, the refugee community, and the Brazilian population in general. The author conducted 29 in-depth semi-structured interviews with refugees living in Brazil between March 27 and April 6, 2020. Refugees’ past suffering experiences make them more empathic to other people’s suffering due to the pandemic, which creates an inclusive victim consciousness that seems to explain their solidarity narratives towards different groups.

Venezuela suffers severe economic and political crisis that affect the population across the socio-economic spectrum. The crisis has led to immeasurable consequences, such as the intense migratory flow to neighboring countries, including Brazil. A lack of infrastructure necessary to absorb the number of refugees in the welcoming cities in the state of Roraima, in Brazil, has caused problems for the Brazilians themselves. Increased refugees require effective government action to conduct planning of migratoryissues during peacetime, and not just in the wake of or during a crisis. The aim of this paper is to show eventual problems arising from the migratory flow. The research question is: based on Venezuela situation, how the Brazilian Government can host the mass of refugees, without compromising its commitments to its own population security? The methodological approach of the paper addresses a bibliographical review of world policies about refugees, current Brazilian legislation on refugees, the political and economic situation of state of Roraima in Brazil. As a conclusion, it will analyze how the Brazilian Government can better prepare its peacetime planning to welcome refugees

The present study aims at mapping how the situation of refuge and migration is represented
metaphorically in the Brazilian online media. From the data collected, we will establish
comparisons between the representations that were found. An approach that contemplates the
frame study employed in the media allows us to observe that verbal and nonverbal resources,
metaphorical sentences and lexical items are constituted into discursive frames. We intend to
discuss how the migrant and the refugee are represented in the Brazilian online media. Some
questions we will investigate are: What are the discourses on the reception of refugees and
migrants? Which discourses on the integration of refugees and migrants are broadcasted? From
these questions, we will examine how such categories compose the image of the migrant and the
refugee. The corpus used was based on the news of the online newspaper Folha de São Paulo
from June, 2015, seen as it was in this month that the so called “refugee crisis” occurred in
Europe. The gathering and analysis were done with the help of two free softwares: Notepad++,
that allows the user to save texts in txt format, and Antconc, that enables the analysis of several
txt files through tools that are used in Corpus Linguistics. The concordance lines obtained by
inserting a word of choice in AntConc’s concordancer were then analyzed manually through
Cameron’s (2010) Metaphor-led Discourse Analysis. A larger objective will be to identify which
metaphorical frames are used in the migrant’s and refugee’s media representation and what are
their social implications. Such frames contribute to organize and potentialize the discourse about
the Other (BRUNO, 2016).

Population geography is a subdiscipline of Geography devoted to the study of one of the aspects of geographic space, which is population flows. The flow of refugees is a topic of interest. In 2016, Turkey underwent a coup attempt which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people and increased internal political tension. This study aimed to verify whether Turkey’s internal circumstances impacted the number of Turkish refugee requests in Brazil and if so, to describe these refugees’ general profile and their spatial distribution, without risking their safety. We used data provided by the International Migration Observatory, which is linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Justice. The analyses were performed using descriptive and geospatial statistics and showed a considerable increase in the number of Turkish refugees in Brazil from 2016, as well as their concentration in the richest state of the federation. We believe these results provide relevant information to improve the Brazilian system of recognition and reception of refugees.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore new trends in Brazilian refugee and migratory law in the last 20 years. In doing so it addresses the evolution of the definition of “refugee” in Brazil, expanding the eligibility grounds provided by the 1951 Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention). Reviewing international and regional refugee law, the article analyzes the broader understanding of the notion of "refuge" and its complexity expressed in regional and national legal frameworks, taking account of lawyers, scholars and activists who criticize the narrow scope of the classical refugee definition from 1951 which has become distant from current refugee voices and struggles. At the domestic level, although the 1980 Aliens Statute (Act. n. 6815/80) is still in effect, there have been important changes in refugee law in Brazil since the implementation of the 1997 Refugee Statute (Act n. 9.474/97), influenced by the 1984 Cartagena Declaration (a regional soft law instrument) regarding the definition of “refugee”, Exploring the interconnection of the Refugee Statute and complementary forms of human rights protection which fall outside the scope of international refugee law, the article concludes that in the specific case of Haitians in Brazil, the broader protections of Brazilian refugee law should be available rather than the complementary system of humanitarian visas.

This article aims to verify the role of the main political institutions that directly deals with refugees in Brazil, from the action of the political centrality of the National Committee for Refugees and the Federal Police, through a literature review and interviews with border officers, under the Political Science. Decision-making processes, the bureaucratic procedures of migration control and security of the Brazilian government about the phenomenon of forced displacement of refugees seek to analyze the bureaucracy and procedural mechanisms geared to foreigners regarding refugees, by identifying the institutional difficulties, limits and challenges to the implementation of public policies geared to refugees. Highlighting the lack of coordination, fragmentation and pulverization of migration policy as a whole, and refugee policy in a particular way, connected with the authoritarian past of the country and the maintenance of restrictive mechanisms for local insertion of international migrants.

Full textAbstract:
Latin American interregional migration has increased dramatically in the past two decades. One of the countries contributing to the growth of these flows is Brazil, whose participation was consolidated due to international factors, its reception and its legal labor policies. Despite this, the relationship between migration, development and remittances remains poorly studied by Brazilian scholars. The discussion presented here focuses on a circumscribed analysis of refugees who had been legally recognized by the Brazilian State by the end of 2018. Thanks to research data on 487 refugees living in Brazil by then, it was possible to analyze their life conditions, the value and regularity of remittances received and/or sent, among other aspects. The results showed that low wages did not prevent refugees, for the most part, from sending remittances abroad nor, for some, from receiving it. Despite its low value, its regularity seems to keep alive the networks and dependency relations between those who migrate and those who remain in the origin countries.

Full textAbstract:
Refugees show higher prevalence of psychological disorders compared to the general population in host countries. At the same time, there is a lack in the provision of and knowledge about appropriate transcultural mental health support. The overall goal of this thesis was to investigate insider perspectives on the mental health support for refugee patients (MHSR). More specifically, the objective was to obtain insights into the MHSR in Brazil, a Latin-American and developing country. The research on refugees in Brazil is sparse, but the need to provide adequate
MHSR is increasing with growing numbers of people who seek refuge in the country. The goal was approached in the first section of this thesis by reviewing and synthesising the existing research. In this, we aimed at obtaining insights into qualitative research findings on the perspectives of professionals and refugee patients concerning MHSR. The section starts with Chapter 2, a qualitative evidence synthesis of ten primary qualitative studies referring to 145 insider perspectives. The main findings highlight the importance of a trusting therapeutic relationship, of
the adaptation of therapeutic approaches to patients’ needs and situation, and of psycho-social support, cultural sensitivity, as well as of external support structures for professionals. Negative or hindering aspects were identified as a lack of mental healthcare structures, the impact of the postmigration situation on patients’ well-being, cultural and language differences, and patients’ mistrust. Finally, ambivalences were formulated regarding verbal therapies, trauma exposure, the use of mental healthcare, and the impacts of the work with refugees on professionals. Section I ends with Chapter 3, that critically evaluates the method of a qualitative evidence synthesis and discusses
some of its challenges, particularly with regard to the question of how to abstract and merge primary qualitative results without losing their in-depth-meaning. Chapter 3 also poses the question of the universality of the findings of the QES, as no primary studies from non-Western countries were included. The need for a greater international plurality in the research field of MHSR motivates Section II of this thesis. This second section looks at how psychologists in Brazil perceive the MHSR in this Latin- American country. Three different studies were performed for this second section using qualitative semi-structured interviews with professionals and thematic analysis, as well as consensual qualitative research strategies. The first study investigated how psychologists perceive the
psychological suffering and symptoms of their refugee patients. It also provides background and contextual information for the following parts, such as concerning refugee patients’ countries of origin. The investigation found that the most frequently described conditions in refugee patients were anxiety and depression disorder and symptoms, grief, and PTSD symptoms. However, the results also showed that the use of manuals for the categorical classification and diagnosis of mental disorders is a debated topic among psychologists in Brazil, since psychiatric diagnostic categories are often perceived to be a poor representation of a person’s experience. Psychologists tended to stress patients’ socio-political suffering and to conceptualise patients’ symptoms as expected reactions to their profound losses and ongoing contextual instability. Participants discussed refugees suffering especially in relation to four clusters: the postmigration stressors, traumatic experiences, flight as life rupture, and the current situation in the country of origin. The second study of Section II explored the perspectives of psychologists on providing
“acolhimento psicológico” (psychological care) for refugees in Brazil. It analysed the general experiences, positive and negative aspects, as well as facilitators and necessary changes to better the MHSR. Results showed, that psychologists experienced operating in a novel, precarious and xenophobic context, which led them to move beyond classical psychological work, engage in practical assistance and become very close to clients. Participants reported on a lack of public structures, insufficient competencies of professionals and high levels of staff fatigue. At the same
time, they described gaining new perspectives and benefiting from witnessing their clients’ resilience. In terms of facilitating factors for the psychological care process participants pointed to the importance of psychologists being flexible, authentic, of showing a high resistance to frustration, and of making use of group-based approaches. Participants suggested that, in order to better refugees’ mental health in Brazil, efforts should focus on adopting a more social perspective in psychology, developing antidiscrimination campaigns, building policies for refugee’ integration, and scaling up investments in mental healthcare in general. The third study of Section II, retrieved the psychotherapists’ experience of providing psychotherapy for refugees in Brazil. Supportive and hindering elements in psychotherapy with refugee patients in Brazil were identified at eight different levels: the patient, the therapist, their relationship, the setting, the psychotherapeutic approach, the context of the patient, the context of
the therapist and the societal context in Brazil. Hindering elements in the therapy included missing preparation for the integration of refugees, lack of interpreters, patients’ mistrust and therapists feeling untrained, helpless and becoming overinvolved. Supportive elements included a trusting therapeutic relationship, therapists’ cultural humility and structural competence, patients’ societal inclusion as well as working with groups and networks. This investigation showed that in light of the enormous structural challenges for the mental well-being of refugee patients, therapists’ flexibility and the reliance on collective work and networks of support is crucial.
Finally, Section III, the integrative discussion summarizes, compares and contrasts the results of the various studies of this dissertation regarding, again, helpful/positive, ambivalent, and supportive/negative factors in the MHSR. These synthesised results are subsequently embedded within and discussed in relation to the scientific literature. The thesis closes by considering its limitations and by providing suggestions for future research, as well as an overall conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
A Venezuela enfrenta hoje uma crise gerada por problemas políticos, econômicos e – consequentemente – humanitários oriundos de governos anteriores. Nos mandatos dos presidentes Hugo Chávez e Nicolás Maduro, o país passou por quedas consideráveis no preço do barril de petróleo, recessões econômicas, escassez de alimentos básicos nos supermercados e de medicamentos nas farmácias, declínio da infraestrutura de saúde e educação, além de disputas políticas entre apoiadores e opositores de ambos os governos. Com isso, o país passou a reforçar os altos índices de pobreza e desigualdade em todas as classes sociais e, portanto, houve um aumento no número de migrações venezuelanas para outros países. Segundo o ACNUR, estima-se que mais de 4 milhões de venezuelanos saíram de seu país, sendo o maior êxodo na história recente da região. Com isso, o governo brasileiro passou a ser o quinto país que mais recebe venezuelanos e precisou flexibilizar as leis migratórias para que as pessoas pudessem entrar no território nacional e serem acolhidas com base nos direitos humanos estabelecidos pela Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos (ONU, 1948). O presente trabalho busca: i) descrever o contexto histórico da Venezuela desde o início das crises econômicas e políticas até os dias de hoje; ii) analisar o modelo de resposta brasileira diante da crise de refúgio venezuelano, descrevendo as ações desenvolvidas pelo Brasil através das figuras do Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Refugiados (ACNUR), Comitê Nacional para os Refugiados (Conare), Operação Acolhida e sociedade civil no que se refere aos processos de recepção de refugiados e promoção de suas sobrevivências no Brasil; e iii) recomendar ações que possibilitem a melhorias das ações desenvolvidas pelo Estado brasileiro.Nowadays, Venezuela faces a crisis caused by political, economic and consequently humanitarian problems engendered from previous governments. During Hugo Chávez’ and Nicolás Maduro’s leaderships, the country experienced considerable falls in the price of barrels of oil, economic recessions, shortages of basic food in supermarkets and medicines in pharmacies, decline in health and education infrastructure, as well as political disputes between supporters and opponents of both governments. Therewith, the country started to reinforce the high rates of poverty and inequality in all the existing social classes and, therefore, there was an increase in the number of Venezuelan migrations to other countries. According to UNHCR, it is estimated that more than 4 million Venezuelans have left their country, being the biggest exodus in the recent history of the region. With that, the Brazilian government became the fifth country that receives the most Venezuelans and needed to make migration laws more flexible so that people could enter the national territory and be welcomed based on the human rights established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN, 1948). The present work aims to: i) describe the historical context of Venezuela from the beginning of the economic and political crises to the present day; ii) analyze the Brazilian response model in the face of the Venezuelan refuge crisis, describing the actions developed by Brazil through the figures of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Comitê Nacional para os Refugiados (Conare), Operação Acolhida and Civil Society, with regard to processes for receiving refugees and promoting their survival in Brazil; and iii) recommend actions that enable improvements in actions developed by the Brazilian State.

Full textAbstract:
This book focuses on a previously unexamined phenomenon: how host governments utilize diasporas to advance their foreign policy agendas in mutually beneficial ways. The book advances a four-factor theoretical model to analyze the phenomenon for when this occurs, and it delves into the multiple avenues across which it takes place, in a variety of regimes, and across political, security, and commercial matters, proposing a classification with examples worldwide. It shows how, with the endorsement of the host government, select diaspora groups become spokespersons for a heterogeneous diaspora at large, advancing their interests and those of the host state. The contribution is grounded in research on diaspora and migration, ethnic lobbies, and transnationalism. The eight cases of testing the model include the Lebanese-American diaspora on policy toward Syria and Lebanon under George W. Bush, including UN Security Council Resolution 1559 and the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act; the Iraqi National Congress and the US administration in “selling” the 2003 Iraq war to the US and international public; the two ends of the political spectrum of Cuban-American organizations on Cuba policy under Presidents Carter and Reagan; the Iranian government’s use of Shi’i clerics from the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (1982–2003) vis-à-vis Iraq and with Iraqi refugees and prisoners of war. In commercial matters, it includes the multidiaspora International Diaspora Engagement Alliance (IdEA) of the US State Department (2011–) directed at homeland development; and the Brazilian state and Syro-Lebanese members of the Arab-Brazilian Chamber of Commerce since the 1970s, as an intermediary with the Arab League.

AbstractDuring the last decade, we have witnessed two opposed social and political trends. On the one hand, there has been a comeback of nationalism. Examples abound from Trump’s “make America great again”, to Modi’s Hindu nationalism, to Bolsonaro’s Brazilian populist nationalism, to Orbán’s Hungary, and Le Pen’s or Salvini’s ‘patriotic’ overtones, only to name a few. These parties promote aggressive, nativist, and populist nationalism discourses which see the relations between nations and nation-states as a zero-sum game. They privilege erecting borders, both territorial and symbolic, against minorities, migrants or refugees, other nation-states and supra-national political formations like, in Europe, the European Union.

Abstract The telenovela Órfãos da terra (2019, Orphans of the Earth), co-written by Thelma Guedes and Duca Rachid, reasserts the Freyrean vision of mistura as the national and international crises described in chapter 10 worsen with the election of a far-Right populist president. The telenovela engages in a contest over Brazilian identity by didactically championing tolerance and cultural mixture as defining marks of national society and culture. But this vocal defense of tolerance betrays a deepening anxiety about religious difference and a powerful undercurrent of Islamophobia. While it repudiates racism and xenophobia, the telenovela recasts, in religious rather than racial or ethnic terms, the old question of desirable versus undesirable immigrants. To the question of which religions are compatible with Brazilian mistura, the implicit answer is Catholicism and spiritism, not Islam or Judaism.

In the year 2018, Brazil began to face its own migration crisis. Despite already receiving refugees from different countries, in recent years the situation became worrying when a large number of Venezuelans began to cross the border. The enrolment of foreign students in the country has doubled in recent years and most of them are concentrated in the public network. Considering this context, the aim of this chapter is to analyse the mechanisms enabling the reception of Venezuelan refugee youth in the school context. This represents a major challenge for Brazilian public education since there is no unity in Brazil in terms of law that indicates how to work with refugee youth in school. For our observations in the school context we use the methodological guidelines for ethnographic work in this context of Medvedovski and colleagues (2015) and Rockwell (2009)

Full textAbstract:
As Rio de Janeiro prepared to host the 2016 Olympics, international news media covered the associated urban transformations widely. Evictions from poor neighbourhoods and the adaptation of urban spaces to the interests and tastes of local and global elites turned out to be integral to these preparations. Empathy with evicted and resisting residents was mainly expressed in international news outlets and less so in Brazilian mainstream media. This article analyses this lopsided attention through the lens of Miriam Ticktin’s work on innocence as a political concept. While normally thought of as an ethico-moral concept, Ticktin argues that innocence also structures politics in significant ways. Notions of innocence as embodied in specific figures such as the child, the refugee or other ‘innocent victims’ have come to occupy our political imagination as a contrast to others who are not considered innocent, and therefore not worthy of care or assistance. Ticktin’s analysis provides a novel angle for exploring how empathy and indifference about social injustice travels across societies. The empathy expressed in Europe about human rights violations in Brazil occurred against the background of a refugee crisis that many Europeans conceptualised as a crisis for the receiving European communities rather than for the refugees themselves. Exploring the lopsided media coverage of Olympic evictions in Rio in this context, provides a deeper understanding of the power dynamics involved in producing empathy and indifference to human suffering.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter contrasts the political interpretation of sertanejos’ endemic illnesses, promulgated by Brazilian sanitarians, with the approach to public health promoted by Rockefeller Foundation International Health Board (IHB) representatives who also worked in Brazil during the 1910s. These contrasting interpretations of the political and racial origins of endemic disease delineate two poles around which subsequent approaches to sertão development turned. Early in the chapter, public health infrastructure in the northeast region is evaluated in relation to states’ limited capacity to assist drought refugees or prevent epidemics in migrant camps, and the efforts of cearense physician Rodolfo Teófilo are emphasized. The remainder of the chapter focuses on a sanitary survey of the sertão undertaken by Belisário Penna and Arthur Neiva in 1912; subsequent public health projects engaged in by Penna (notably the Serviço de Profilaxia Rural, or Rural Sanitation Service) and the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Board in Brazil; and the establishment of a national department of public health stemming from these efforts. The analysis emphasizes the racism of IHB director Wickliffe Rose which led him to dismiss the modernizing potential of sertanejos and to attribute their diseases to racial weakness. This is contrasted with Penna’s rejection of racial and climatic determinism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores working Paulistanos’ access to good jobs and the limits to mobility in the 1920s. By the end of the Old Republic, laborers and liberal professionals comprised São Paulo’s middle class, and a segmented labor market existed with good jobs in commerce, transportation, and the mechanical sector and bad jobs in the textile sector. Interview transcripts and worker profiles show workers valued a high salary, opportunities for training and advancement, and family employment. Established residents and new residents, who were internal migrants, Eastern Europeans, or immigrants from other Southern Cone ports, vied for these good jobs. Despite tightening immigration regulations and increasing cost of living, the city doubled in size. Not everyone had equal access to these positions: a good appearance and the right connections facilitated entry, placing individuals coming directly from the lavoura, who could not afford the city’s overpriced clothing, women, and Afro-Brazilians increasingly at a disadvantage. The search for housing compounded disadvantages, and the working class increasingly built outward, expanding São Paulo’s footprint into the city’s floodplains. The Great Flood of 1929 demonstrated the precariousness of success and limits of opportunity as flood victims sought refuge in the Hospedaria.

Carvalho Badaró de Melo, Bruna. South-south migration : A Critical Discourse Analysis of media’s construction of Venezuelan refugees in Brazil. Malmö universitet, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.24834/isbn.9789178773824.
Full textAbstract:
This article explores how Venezuelan refugees have been constructed by the Brazilian media during the ongoing refugee crisis in South America. The fact that South-South migration has so far been understudied and the relevant and fast-escalating displacement of people from Venezuela were the motivations for this study. Twenty-one articles about Venezuelan refugees published between 2016 and 2021 by three mainstream, conservative newspapers were analyzed. The theoretical framework consisted of Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis and the theoretical concepts of stereotypes and otherness, from a decolonial perspective. The findings revealed that Venezuelans were mainly associated with negative aspects, comprehending two sub discourses: in the first one, they were constructed as the origin of diseases at the borders and associated with violence and societal tension, and in the second one they were constructed as exploited, underemployed and poorly integrated into the formal labor market. The findings contribute to increasing the understanding of the South-South migration phenomena by detailing the representation of Venezuelan refugees in the Brazilian media and the main discourses related to them.
