Summary: From the time of its colonization Brazil was known only as a target for catholic missionaries, mainly of European origin, and later of protestant missionaries, mainly from the United States. But this picture has been changing: in recent times, Brazilian missionaries have gone abroad to spread their gospel in other countries. This article examines this new missionary flow and its relationship to the paths of Brazilian emigrants looking for jobs abroad. Based on data collected in Brazil, particularly among catholic groups in the so-called “new communities”, and pentecostal documents, the article puts forward a number of hypotheses on the meaning of the religious motivations for geographical displacement in the modern global context.

Esse quadro, contudo, tem vindo a transformar-se: recentemente, missionários brasileiros deixaram o seu país para evangelizar outras nações. Este artigo apresenta reflexões sobre esse novo fluxo missionário e a sua relação com as rotas dos emigrantes brasileiros que buscam trabalho no exterior. Baseando-se em dados recolhidos no Brasil, especialmente entre grupos católicos das chamadas “novas comunidades” e documentos de pentecostais, apresentam-se hipóteses sobre o significado das motivações religiosas para os deslocamentos geográficos no contexto global contemporâneo.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2009-03-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2009190.07https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2009190.07Análise Social; Vol. 44 N.º 190 (2009): Religião e mobilidade humana no século XXI; 161-1872182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29877https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/29877/21317Direitos de Autor (c) 2009 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessL.
