History

Early settlement

Brazilians came to the UK from the 1980s onwards to study, but once they arrived some discovered that the major cities' (in particular London's) ethnic and cultural diversity offered more professional opportunities. [1] In part, this immigration of Brazilians to the UK is a consequence of the economic possibility of travel. [1]

Contemporary history

The Brazilian community of the UK was brought into the global spotlight in 2005 as a result of the death of Jean Charles de Menezes. [2] [3] Menezes was a Brazilian national living and working in Tulse Hill, south London who on the morning of 22 July 2005 was misidentified as Hamdi Adus Isaac—one of the fugitives involved in the previous day's failed bombing attempts. [4] This misidentification ultimately lead to a number of non-uniformed Metropolitan Police officers following Menezes into Stockwell tube station and onto a train, where he was shot in the head seven times. [5] The "shoot to kill" policy had been put in place after the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The inquest that resulted was followed worldwide including by Menezes's family in Gonzaga, Minas Gerais, who set up the "Justice4Jean" campaign. [6]

Population

The 1991 Census recorded 9,301 Brazilian born people in the UK, [7] and the 2001 Census recorded 15,215. [8] In 2004, the Brazilian Consulate in London had 13,000 Brazilians registered as living in the UK. [7] Office for National Statistics estimates suggest that there were 60,000 Brazilian-born people resident in the UK in 2009. [9] The 2011 Census recorded 50,117 Brazilian-born residents in England, 453 in Wales, [10] 1,194 in Scotland [11] and 384 in Northern Ireland. [12] The ONS estimates that in 2018, 87,000 people born in Brazil were living in the UK. [13]

Several older guesstimates of the Brazilian population in the UK in the mid-2000s put the number at around 200,000. [14] [15] The discrepancy between official and unofficial population estimates has also been observed in studies of Brazilians in the United States. [15] It has been suggested that the discrepancy is due to Brazilians overstaying their visas, or only seeing their stays as temporary, and therefore not participating in surveys or censuses. [15] The Brazilian consulate in London estimated that in 2020, there were 220,000 Brazilians in the UK. [16]

Spread and distribution

The majority of Brazilians in the UK reside in and around London. The 2001 Census showed that 8,000 people born in Brazil were residing in the capital, however in the same year other estimates suggested that were that between 15,000 and 50,000 Brazilians in London. [15] In 2005, the BBC stated that the number of Londoners of Brazilian origin was approximately 60,000. [1] Community groups estimated in 2007 that between 130,000 and 160,000 Brazilians were likely to be living in the London area. [15] Within London, some 30,000 Brazilians were thought to reside in the Borough of Brent. Stockwell, south London is also home to a sizeable Brazilian community that lives alongside the UK's single largest Portuguese community in 'Little Portugal'. [15] Bayswater in the City of Westminster has long been referred to as 'Brazilwater', indicating their heavy presence in the area. [15]

Besides the Brazilian community in London, there are numerous other locations in England with Brazilian populations. It is estimated that some 20,000 Brazilians reside in the Midlands (the majority in Birmingham), [17] while some 15,000 Brazilians are thought to live in the county of Norfolk in East Anglia (most of these in King's Lynn and Norwich). [17] The coastal town of Brighton was home to an estimated 10,000 Brazilians in 2005. [17] 10,000 individuals of Brazilian origin also live in the Greater Manchester/Liverpool Urban Area. [17]

Religion

Brazil is the world's largest Catholic nation, [18] 50% adhere to the faith while 29% of Brazilians follow Protestantism. [19] The largest Brazilian church in the UK is the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, which has temples in London and Birmingham. [18] This church has been embroiled in scandals and accusations for some years. In 2000 a Brazilian Christian evangelical sect bought London radio station Liberty Radio (previously owned by Mohamed Al-Fayed). [20] This purchase was surrounded by controversy largely due to the stations large established audience that could be influenced by the alleged corrupt church, which tells its followers that "diseases are caused by demons and prayer can rid them of debt". [20] There are some 30 Brazilian evangelical churches in London. Further, many other denominations has a strong representation of Brazilians' communities in the UK including some special meetings in Portuguese language in the IPDA Igreja Pentecostal Deus e Amor-Pentecostal Church God is Love, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Jehova's Witnesses, Kardecists and others. [21] There is a Brazilian Chaplaincy in East London, set up by the Catholic Church and run by Brazilian priests, who conduct mass in Portuguese to hundreds of Brazilians at weekends. [15]

Culture and community

Business and economics

According to analysis by the Institute for Public Policy Research based on Labour Force Survey data for 2000 to 2004, 57.4 per cent of Brazilian-born immigrants arriving in the UK in 1990 or after were employed (as opposed to studying, unemployed or inactive), with 80.7 per cent arriving before 1990 employed. [22] Despite being relatively well educated, the majority of Brazilian immigrants to the UK have taken up professions that differ greatly from their previous careers in Brazil. [23] The majority of Brazilian-born migrants to the UK choose jobs that are for the most part unskilled and low-paid; the reasons behind this include restrictions imposed by their immigration status and lack or limited knowledge of the English language. [23] This has also been witnessed in the Brazilian diaspora in United States. [23] A study conducted by Queen Mary, University of London revealed the most common jobs taken up by Brazilian immigrants in London. [23] 32 per cent of individuals surveyed were involved in the cleaning industry, 26 per cent in hotel work and catering, 13 per cent in other 'services'. 10 per cent worked as couriers, 9 per cent in the construction industry, 3 per cent as au pairs or baby sitters. 6 per cent of those surveyed choose not to answer, while 1 per cent told of unemployment. [23] Work and employment is an extremely important aspect for Brazilians in the UK, especially first-generation immigrants – many of whom came to the UK for the sole reason of seeking employment. In the same study, 25 per cent of respondents said they came to the UK to work and/or study, while 24.3 per cent claimed to have come for work and to save money either to be able to permanently settle in the UK or to send to family back in Brazil. [23] A large number of Brazilian-owned businesses have sprung up in the UK over recent decades. They include personal care, counselling, solicitors and lawyers that provide services in Portuguese, baby sitting, private cleaning, removals and transportation, travel agencies, private functions, money transfer, accommodation, as well as shops selling Brazilian clothing, food and drink, alongside numerous cafes and restaurants.

They also offer free classifieds sections that allow the Portuguese-speaking community to post advertisements for their businesses, job opportunities and property for sale.

An investigation conducted by the International Organization for Migration in 2005 found that in terms of newspaper readership, 67% of Brazilian British respondents stated that they prefer to read UK newspapers. Magazine readership differed completely, where 51% of respondents said they favoured Brazilian publications in the UK over general UK publications and even Brazilian publications from Brazil. [31]

The vibrant emerging Brazilian community in the capital has in a short time been influential in shaping the face of London and its residents. [1] The culture and music of Brazil has had a significant impact in the UK, most evidently as previously stated in London. [1] Numerous bars, clubs and other late nite venues are across the city, including the Guanabara Bar in Holborn, London. [32]

Many Brazilian acts perform in the Carnaval del Pueblo, Europe's largest celebration of Latin American culture, held in Burgess Park, London.

Dance schools teaching the art form include 'Paraiso School of Samba', [40] and the 'London School of Samba'. [41] The 2001 film The Girl from Rio starring Hugh Laurie makes reference to a samba school in London, in which a banker, while fed up with his day job, gives samba lessons at night. Besides the presence of traditional Brazilian music in the UK, numerous British-born Brazilians have made a significant impact on the British music scene.

Latin American migration to the United Kingdom dates back to the early 19th century. Before the 1970s, when political and civil unrest became rife in many Latin American countries, the United Kingdom's Latin American community was not particularly large. Economic migration to the United Kingdom has since increased, with Brazilian and Colombian-born residents now representing the two largest Latin American groups, standing at an estimated 95,000 and 36,000 respectively as of 2019. A number of refugees and asylum seekers moved to the UK during the late 20th century. However, since the turn of the century, Latin Americans have been migrating to the UK for a wide range of reasons. At present, the community consists of people from all walks of life. The UK is also home to British-born people of Latin American ancestry. During the 2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis, Britain also became one of the favourite European destinations for some of the roughly 1.4 million Latin Americans who had acquired Spanish citizenship.
