Brazilians in London: A Report for the Strangers into Citizens Campaign

The study reported here emerged in the context of the Strangers into Citizens campaign. It focuses on Brazilians, who now comprise one of the new groups of immigrants who have arrived in the UK in the last decade or so. Little is known about Brazilian immigrants in the UK (although see Cwerner 2001; Jordan and Duvell 2002; Datta et al 2007a,b), yet they are now thought to make up a sizeable community. Hence, the research was prompted by the need to find out more about their situation. This report summarises data that was gathered to produce a socio-economic profile of Brazilians in London while also contributing to the Strangers into Citizens Campaign.
