Epilogue: the song remains the same. 330 $aImmigration, Ethnicity, and National Identity in Brazil, 1808 to the Present examines the immigration to Brazil of millions of Europeans, Asians and Middle Easterners beginning in the nineteenth century. Jeffrey Lesser analyzes how these newcomers and their descendants adapted to their new country and how national identity was formed as they became Brazilians along with their children and grandchildren. Lesser argues that immigration cannot be divorced from broader patterns of Brazilian race relations, as most immigrants settled in the decades surrounding the final abolition of slavery in 1888 and their experiences were deeply conditioned by ideas of race and ethnicity formed long before their arrival. This broad exploration of the relationships between immigration, ethnicity and nation allows for analysis of one of the most vexing areas of Brazilian study: identity. 410 0$aNew approaches to the Americas. 517 3 $aImmigration, Ethnicity, & National Identity in Brazil, 1808 to the Present 606 $aNational characteristics, Brazilian$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNational characteristics, Brazilian$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImmigrants$zBrazil$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aImmigrants$zBrazil$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aBrazil$xEthnic relations$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, Brazilian$xHistory 615 0$aNational characteristics, Brazilian$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory 676 $a305.800981 700 $aLesser$b Jeff$0700863 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453119303321 996 $aImmigration, ethnicity, and national identity in Brazil, 1808 to the present$92466824 997 $aUNINA
