THIS ESSAY examines how Brazilian immigrants in the metropolitan region of Boston, USA, are becoming increasingly organized. Based on an October 2005 survey, it lists the various organizations created by Brazilian immigrants from 1995 to 2005 in Framingham, Boston, Somerville, and Cambridge. The conclusion is that Brazilians have advanced more in terms of political organization (because of the cultural baggage some leaders brought from Brazil) than in the service industry.
