| contents | South-South migration: a study on refugees working in small and medium Brazilian enterprises FERNANDA VERSIANI ANTONIO CARVALHO Administración y Contabilidad South Haiti Racism South migration African countries This article aims to analyze the integration of refugees from the global South in the workplace of small and medium enterprises in the city of São Paulo, based on interpersonal relationships between Brazilian employers, refugee workers, and Brazilian workers. The literature focuses on South-South migration, refugees in Brazil, and their stereotypes in the workplace. The research was qualitative, using a case study. Semi-structured individual interviews and non-participant observation were conducted with 28 respondents: 7 refugee workers (2 Haitians, 2 Angolans, 1 Congolese, 1 Nigerian, and 1 Beninese); 7 Brazilian employers (4 owners and 3 managers in the services, commerce, and industry sectors); and 14 Brazilian co-workers. Results show managerial incentive to different forms of communication seeking to break the language barrier as well as explicit racism. The employers only began to worry about the integration of refugees when they had problems with Brazilians, such as disrespect for Halal food of Muslim refugees and the perception that refugees transmit diseases. Brazilian workers and employers stereotype refugees from African countries (including Haiti) as a homogeneous group of “black Africans,” reflecting a total lack of knowledge about their geographical and cultural diversity. This lack of knowledge strongly influences interpersonal relationships and makes it difficult for refugees to integrate into the workplace. This article contributes to the reflection on South-South migration, since the literature usually explores South-North and North-North migration. 2021 artículo científico 1679-3951 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=323267864005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3232/323267864005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3232/323267864005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3232/323267864005/323267864005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3232/323267864005/movil 10.1590/1679-395120200056 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3232 Cadernos EBAPE.BR application/pdf Fundação Getulio Vargas Cadernos EBAPE.BR (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.19 |
