| Summary: | This paper aims to re-build the experience of Brazilians in London from the case of Jean Charles de Menezes. Who migrated to London, from Gonzaga, Minas Gerais, and died on the 22nd of July 2005 when he was ‘mistaken’ for a terrorist. We hope with this article to re-build the route of his life from his family members’ verbal accounts as well as from accounts of the national and international press, aiming to discuss how the route of dramatic life and death can help us understand the routes of many emigrants, and also understand the prejudice contexts and hosting society discrimination. |
