| Abstract | |
Considering the ethnographical work conducted in the Casa de Macau in São Paulo, we shall retrace here the experience of these people that abandoned their city in China and immigrate to São Paulo between 1953 and 1977. We intend to discuss both the identity dynamics of this group, with the diaspora as reference, and how this group reacts to the changes around them and continually reinvent a universe of traditions. In order to do that our research considered the narratives of their individual story (Macanese in São Paulo)and some reports of Macanese from Rio de Janeiro, Lisboa and Macao, Macao¿s singularities itself, and the contemporary historiography on it. From direct contact with interviews, talks and reports of life stories, we wanted to understand some unknown stories of Macao: those that concern to the successive movements of families leaving it due to the crises that has marked that enclave since the middle of the XIX century (AU) | |
