Abstract

This paper aims to approach a process of restructuring a rural district in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, from the trajectories of international migration of some of its inhabitants. They migrated to Italy, with the aim of achieving Italian citizenship. Eight months after his first trip to Italy, since the Italian passport in hand, went to the United States. The goal from the beginning was the possibility of ensuring an economy that would give them conditions for the reproduction of their small coffee farms. To achieve the goal of this research, I consider as main sources the narratives of the experiences of these families through ethnography of their trajectories, the experiences of foreign husbands and their wives in Brazil. Thus, I present the trajectories for the four years that they were involved in the migration process, thus, tracing the trajectory of men and women on the threshold between the processing and reproduction of their lives during and after this process (AU)
