When Brazil Got the Blues
Thisarticlewillexamine theintroduction of blues in Brazil (1985-1992), a phenomenon thathas not yet been addressed in scholarly spheres until now. By highlighting the processes of globalization and the Brazilian blues band from Riode Janeiro, Blues Etílicos, I ask what were the spaces, places, and venues that helped to disseminate blues throughout Brazil? How does an African-American-based genre adopted and popularized by upper-and-middle-class w…
Using “Autogeography,” sense of place and place-based approaches in the pedagogy of geographic thought
This essay will discuss an approach in the pedagogy of geography that engages students with the interpretation, imagination, and the complex understandings and dimensions of geographic thought. My goal here is to make the explicit connection between place experiences (autobiography) and place, sense of place, and geographic thought. I underline how geographic thought should connect to (and draw on) students’ lived experiences, as they become not …
A Different Manifest Destiny
In this valuable and compact book, Wolnisty brings attention to the emigration of U.S. southerners leaving the United States for Nicaragua and Brazil, and the commercial and political expansion, interests, and campaigns in Latin America during the mid-nineteenth century, before and after the U.S. Civil War. Based on research in U.S. and Brazilian archives, Wolnisty outlines the multiple U.S. Southern expansionistic ideologies at the time and how …
Skiffle in the U.K
This article examines the creation and diffusion of skiffle, and analyses how it emerged from the transatlantic flow of popular music from the United States to the United Kingdom, and the process by which it became “indigenized” in the U.K. I have also looked at the salience of race, the legacy of English music hall song traditions, and the idea of indigenization of music in post-WWII Britain. I have highlighted how skiffle eventually became “Eng…
The Dangers of the Geographical Imagination in the U.S. Eugenics Movement
This article offers a new synthesis of the role of geography and geographical thinking in the inception and diffusion of the U.S. eugenics movement and its relevance in social and racial sentiments today. This role was supported by the salience of the geographical imagination and the influence of eminent Ivy League-educated elites during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Moreover, the significance here is that the eugenics movement and …
Convenient Liaisons
In the late 1980s over one million Brazilians left Brazil without returning. Today, over 3.1 million Brazilians live abroad, and approximately 1.3 million Brazilians reside in the United States. Brazilian immigrants are not fleeing abject starvation or glaring economic troubles; nor are they political refugees seeking asylum, or fleeing a civil war. In what ways have Brazilian immigrants (re)interpreted religious practices in the United States, a…

Sex, Color, and Geography
Sex and race have significantly affected the trajectories of Brazil's historical geographies and its contemporary racialized relations. Interpretations of gender, race, and color in Brazil have produced distinct racialized relations and diverse color categories in contrast to the rigid binary racial categories (i.e., black–white) traditionally used in the United States. In Brazil, racialized relations have traditionally remained cordial, giving l…
Experiencing Ethnic Economies
Brazilian immigrants in the United States experience socioeconomic changes and engage in various professional occupations. Migrant livelihoods and experiences are affected in two receiving communities in the United States (Framingham, Massachusetts, and Marietta, Georgia), and in two sending communities in Brazil (Governador Valadares and Piracanjuba). What are the most common professional occupations among Brazilians immigrants, and what were th…
De volta para Goiás e Minas Gerais
Migration processes to the United States are just as much about those migrants who leave Brazil as it is about those who remain, and also about those who return to Brazil (i.e.; returnees). Brazilian immigration to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon that gained momentum in the 1980s in unprecedented numbers. How are these Portuguese-speaking Brazilian immigrants shaping and (re)creating new places and spaces, and what happens upo…
(Re)creating places and spaces in two countries
Brazilian immigration to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon that gained momentum in the 1980s in unprecedented numbers. Today an estimated 1.2 million Brazilians live in the United States. Brazilians (re)create transnational places and spaces through social, cultural, and economic practices, within the immigrant receiving communities of Marietta, Georgia, and Framingham, Massachusetts, in the United States. They also incorporate …
Brazilian Immigration To The United States And The Geographical Imagination
In the late 1980s more than 1 million Brazilians left Brazil without returning. Today an estimated 2 million Brazilians live abroad, 1.2 million of them in the United States. In this article I show that Brazilians migrate for a variety of reasons, including the geographical imagination. Why are so many Brazilians leaving for the United States? What are their geographical imaginations, and how are they described in their migration process? Using p…
