A imigração Armênia no Brasil e as comunidades em São Paulo

Abstract

The present study seeks to find the historic context that determined the influx of Armenians to Brazil, especially to the state of São Paulo, as well as to present the history of this immigration and the consequent constitution of this ethnic group, based on the narratives and testimonies from the immigrants themselves and their descendants. Based on the record of their memories, from the perspective of rebuilding part of the social history of the immigration process to São Paulo, this article intends to substantiate the history of the Armenians, particularly the cultural traces and how this ethnic group (re)built and experienced their identity in their adoptive country.
