Abstract

As recent immigrants in the United States, Brazilians for the first time find themselves in situations where they are viewed as an ethnic minority. "Brazilian" becomes a marked category within the context of international migration because it raises questions of ethnic identity with which Brazilians have had little or no prior experience or consciousness. This paper examines the contested identity of Brazilians in the U.S., the role of North American ethnic categories in this identity and Brazilians attempts to distinguish themselves from"the other"- Hispanics
