MOBILIDADE ESPACIAL DOS IMIGRANTES ESTRANGEIROS NO BRASIL - 1991/2010

Abstract International and internal migration plays an important role in the formation of Brazilian territory. In the middle of the twentieth century, new waves of migration caused the most recent changes in the social and spatial dynamics of Brazil. Alongside traditional destinations' such as Japan and the United States, new internal population movements within South America have gained importance, including flows from the Brazilian territory. In light of such migratory dynamics, the main purpose of this paper is the lifting of different nationalities of international immigrants resident in Brazil and the analysis of differences in internal spatial mobility of those immigrants.
