Retorno às raízes? Narrativas de integração de espírito-santenses na E/imigração contemporânea na Itália

Abstract

In the last quarter of the nineteenth century was a large concentration of foreigners, especially Italians, to be settled in Espírito Santo. At the end of the twenty century, the movement is reversed. But who are these people from Espirito Santo departing and departed? How they live or are living in the land of their ancestors? What relations are established between the spaces of emigration and immigration? To understand these questions the aim is to identify narratives of displacement movement of the colonies of Italian immigration of the Espírito Santo to Italy, the movement of "return" of descendants to the land of their nonni and nonne. To this end, oral history interviews were conducted, focusing on trajectories of women and men who depart, trying to understand the impacts on relationships established within immigration.
