Migração internacional na Pan-Amazônia: um estudo sobre a migração venezuelana e o acolhimento dos migrantes em Boa Vista-RR e Belém-PA

Abstract

Considering the recent unfolding of migratory phenomena around the globe, it is necessary to address the displacements that are present in the regional context of Latin America and the Pan Amazon. Within this reality, the migration of Venezuelans towards other countries has gained relevance and attention not only from academia, but also from humanity. The intense flow to countries considered Amazonian draws attention. Brazil presents itself as one of the most sought after destinations of this migration. The label of crisis migration is valid because of the latest events in Venezuela, such as the lack of supplies like food and medicine. However, the hypothesis raised is that this migration is not exclusively a crisis migration, but also a spontaneous labor migration. In this sense, we analyze this migration and its unfoldings to explain how this displacement to the cities of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR occurs. Supported by the methodology of mixed studies, the research involves techniques of data collection from a survey and bibliographic analysis; survey and document analysis; and the guided/individual interview used in a field work carried out in Boa Vista. Thus, it is observed that, although most of this migratory flow of Venezuelans to Brazil, to the Amazon, more specifically to the cities of Belém-PA and Boa Vista-RR, are considered as a crisis migration, it could be seen that there is also the understanding of the presence of a labor migration, especially that displacement of Venezuelans to the capital of Roraima, which is characterized as the displacement of people in search of employment opportunities to improve their lives.
