Brazilians in Europe: Three Successful Stories in the Light of French Discourse Analysis

ABSTRACT

Considering that migrations are not made of suffering and exclusion alone, we intend, in this paper, to analyze and compare, in the light of French Discourse Analysis, three life stories of Brazilian migrants to Europe to understand, by means of their discourse, how they achieved success abroad. The results, in general, point to three common aspects: courage to take risks, determination to overcome the challenges and the willingness to integrate fully into the new country.

KEYWORDS:
Brazilian migrants; European context; Life stories; Success
