Abstract in Portuguese
Esta dissertação analisa o papel da comunidade brasileira na revitalização da região central da municipalidade de Framingham em Massachusetts. A reestruturação do capitalismo internacional transferiu grande parte do setor manufatureiro dos países de economia avançada para os países em desenvolvimento, esta circulação do capital provocou deslocamentos de mão de obra em todo o mundo. Durante a década de 1980, muitos brasileiros deixaram o país em busca das oportunidades de trabalho oferecidas pelo setor de serviços existente nos Estados Unidos. De Governador Valadares partiram muitos emigrantes para a municipalidade de Framingham, no estado de Massachusetts, para executar trabalhos de menor remuneração, como os de faxina doméstica e reformas. Ao chegarem a seu destino ocuparam espaços residenciais que se encontravam disponíveis devido ao declínio econômico da região central (Downtown) da municipalidade, e ao se instalarem na região criaram um pequeno circuito comercial que em muito contribuiu para a revitalização do lugar. Através dos conceitos de Espaço e Paisagem essa trajetória é reconstituída e analisada.

The restructuring of international capitalism transferred a large part of the manufacturing sector of the economy of advanced countries to developing countries , this movement of capital caused displacement of labor worldwide .

When they reached their destination occupied residential spaces that were available due to the economic decline of the central region ( Downtown ) of the municipality , and settle in the region, creating a small commercial circuit that greatly contributed to the revitalization of the place .
