Abstract

I will discuss the possibilities to interpret one specific experience: the displacement and insertion in a new community of individuals coming from several different urban localities to dwell and work in Canoas, an industrial city located in the metropolitan part of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The findings indicate that the migrants focused here have not effectively integrated the life in the new city. In fact, they remade the new environment in the image old world that they had left, where a social line is drawn, not between home and street, but between centre and margin.
