Quando é da família, é melhor!: família e casamento entre cearenses em Santarém-Pará

Abstract

The presence of Brazilian northeasterns migrants in the Amazon region is historical fact that careful thinking about their interactions with other groups in the same area. In the analysis about the migration as a historical and social process, I seek to understand the elements that build the identity of Cearenses migrants in Santarém City, State of Pará, through their discourses and practices, family relationships and marriage that are their differentiation from Paraenses family and marriage relationships. So, it is necessary to categorize the citizenship and consider the practice of marriage as a homogamous form, map the strategies used to establish preferential mating. The approach and interaction between generations help us to understand how the educational process occurs searching to maintain the ethics rules of the group and keep on the comprehension and family meaning.
