QR code
"Portugal e Brazil: emigração e colonisação" by D. A. Gomes Pércheiro is a critical examination of Portuguese emigration to Brazil, written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the socio-economic factors driving this migration, including the allure of potential wealth and the harsh realities awaiting emigrants upon arrival in Brazil. It critically assesses the implications of emigration for both Portugal and its citizens, questioning the motivations behind the migration and
contrasting conditions in both countries. At the start of the work, the author outlines the economic disparities between Portugal and Brazil that fuel emigration, highlighting the misperceptions of opportunity in Brazil. He provides statistical comparisons of wages, living costs, and mortality rates, painting a grim picture of the risks involved in emigrating. As he discusses the ambitions that lead many Portuguese to pursue a life in Brazil, he emphasizes the importance of understanding the practical realities and historical context associated with emigration, aiming to arm his compatriots with knowledge to guard against misguided aspirations.
