Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide a cross-sectional study of social reactions to migration from the Franco-Brazilian perspective comparing these two different national contexts. The cross-cutting perspectives will be based on several elements, including considerations of the history of migration and the socio-demographics of the immigrant populations of the two countries, drawing up a differentiated portrait of migration, before looking at the social treatment of immigrant populations. We will look at the discriminations suffered by immigrant populations, particularly those of non-European origin, before examining negative social reactions to migration, including the existence of moral entrepreneurs intent on portraying migration as a threat to economic and existential security. Finally, in the context of these various elements of cross-perspective, we will consider the extent to which these migrations should be seen in the context of the construction of certain populations as minorities.
