This article analyses the migration movements in Brazil, following the changes in their dynamics in recent decades. The movements of internal migration in Brazil, the last 60 years, are strongly related to the processes of urbanization and spatial redistribution of population, both marked by intense population mobility. In this context, classical factors of attraction and expulsion run out of explanations for migration. Empirical evidences of demographic censuses and "National Survey by Household Samples" (PNADs) make it possible to know the changes in national migration trends, revealing new conditions of migration for different states: areas of migratory retention, areas of migratory losses and areas of migratory turnover. The 21st century announces the expansion of migration spaces in Brazil, marked by the growth of areas of migratory turnover.
