Peer reviewedMargolis, Maxine L. – Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development, 1990
Examines the lives of New York's new Brazilian immigrants, typically undocumented, White middle class refugees from hyperinflation, who find temporary work as maids, gogo dancers, busboys, and waiters. Finds that most are disheartened by their change in status; predicts that many will decide that their future lies in this country. (DM)
