Riassunto

Brazil is not usually associated with British agricultural immigrants, but in the late 1860s and early 1870s great efforts were made to stimulate interest in the country. An idealized image of Brazil was created to help persuade dissatisfied Irish and English to pack up and join settlement schemes in a country that they had previously known nothing about. This book offers a vivid picture of this migration process and new insights into linkages between Ireland, England, the United States and Brazil. Focusing on the lives of individual immigrants, this is one of the most detailed studies of life in the Brazilian government's isolated and under-funded agricultural settlement schemes.
