Brazilians in London: Ideology, Social Class, and Motivations for Migration, Settlement, and ReturnKeywords: Brazil,Ideology,Migration,Social class,London Abstract: The United Kingdom now boasts the largest Brazilian population in Europe, but so far the processes behind this relatively new migration stream remain undertheorized. An examination of Brazilian migration to London suggests that, although increased access to economic capital certainly plays a role in it, what migrants do with this capital may vary significantly and, further, that these differences are related to social class and ideology. The likelihood that they will settle or return is also linked to the degree to which they identify with the dominant ideology of the destination society.
