In the mid-1980s, a relatively new immigrant stream from Brazil began to arrive in New York City. Like other immigrant populations, many of the new arrivals were undocumented, but, unlike other groups, most were from middle-class backgrounds and few wished to extend their stay beyond a few years.
Maxine L. Margolis, professor emeritia of anthropology at the University of Florida, is the author of several books including Little Brazil, Mothers and Such, and The Moving Frontier.
