Casamento Misto & Migração

A união com um estrangeiro como estratégia para ganhar os países centrais

Abstract

The article explores the connection between mixed marriage and migration, by using interviews with eight Brazilians immigrants settled in Rennes {France), especially one of them, and the typical likeness of the community Brazilians in Rennes, which is basically composed of Brazilians {especially Brazilian women) married to French men. The union with the foreigners emerges as a facilitator for international displacement of persons from lower social layers and, beyond, as strategy used by these people for migration to central countries.
