As people cross borders, they meet and live together in ethnic diverse contexts or 'contact zones'. This article focuses on such a 'contact zone', namely the city of Brussels, capital of Belgium and of Europe, and demonstrates how it has been influenced by the arrival of Brazilian migrants. Moreover, it is demonstrated how these Brazilian migrants construct, view and transform boundaries between themselves and other residents of the local space they inhabit. 2012 artículo científico 0717-2257 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=70824863004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=708 Revista de Ciencias Sociales (Cl) application/pdf Universidad Arturo Prat Revista de Ciencias Sociales (Cl) (Chile) Num.29
