SUMMARY:

Between 2011 and 2022 there was a large movement of immigrants from the African continent
towards Brazil. Until the middle of that decade with a more intense flow, followed by a
reduction in recent years. The present study was necessary due to the silent pole that is the
Federal District with regard to African immigration, even though since 2014 onwards there has
been a noticeable increase in the black African presence in various parts of the Federal
District. The research sought to reflect on the factors that led some of these immigrants to
choose the Federal District as a place of reception and to think about the historical, labor and
social issues that motivated these people to migrate to the Federal District. Another central
focus of the investigation was to understand and identify the forms of reception and violence  suffered by them, based on their speeches about their experiences. This work is of a qualitative nature, therefore, Oral History was used as a methodology, in which interviews

were carried out with four African immigrants, from different backgrounds. To analyze and
understand the factors that led them to immigrate, a discussion was held on the African
diaspora, the colonial and post-independence periods in Africa, as well as aspects related to
theoretical debates on the idea of race and the effects of racism and xenophobia – and how
they operate, mainly in Brazil. We also carried out an analysis of labor relations in Brazil
based on the condition of African immigrants. Quantitative data from the National Migration
Registry System (SISMIGRA), General Register of Employed and Unemployed Persons
(CAGED), District Household Sample Survey (PDAD) and the Federal District Planning
Company (In Liquidation) (CODEPLAN) were also used. , which elucidate in numbers the
place of the Federal District in the diaspora in relation to Brazil and other states. Finally, the
desires regarding returning to their homeland and the problems they entail were discussed,
ranging from the dream of continuing the immigration trajectory to another country, to the fear
of returning to the country and uncertainties about the future.
