As dinâmicas de inserção laboral e sociocultural dos migrantes brasileiros em Kourou/Guiana Francesa

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the insertion of Brazilians residing in Comuna Kourou, in Guyana French, highlighting work as a means of economic insertion, and cultural sociability as a stay-in-place mechanism. This is an ethnographic research carried out in 2016 and 2017 in the city of Kourou, in urban spaces that move the economy and local social dynamics, and places of public visitation and leisure. The data suggest that the Brazilian migrants residing in Kourou are involved in manual and artisanal work, such as customer service in the fish market, civil construction and the mechanical sector.
