ResúmenUsando material etnográfico coletado durante minha pesquisa entre imigrantes brasileiros em Lisboa, exploro nesse artigo como a migração internacional se tornou uma das alternativas usadas por pessoas jovens da classe média para manter sua posição de classe. Analizo o papel da crise brasileira das décadas de 80 e 90 na decisão que muitos tomaram de migrar e afirmo que além da situação de privação econômica relativa, muitos brasileiros da classe média se sentiam alienados do seu país uma vez que a promessa do processo de modernidade nunca foi cumprida. Muitos acreditavam que não tinham nada a perder ao sair do seu país
