| Summary: | The ethnicity has been discussed thoroughly on psychology and social sciences, by different investigations.
However, the ethnicity and the ethnic identity, still do not constitutes a focus of attention in Brazil. The
objective of this work is to discusse the themes regarding the ethnicity, presenting the results of a
research developed among students, immigrants and not-immigrants on Porto Alegre (Brazil). The
results present affinity with investigations in other contexts, considering macro-contextual aspects (as
the migrations and the globalization) and micro-contextual aspects (the border situation and local history).
Was detected an tendency of identity´s hibridization between both groups, indicating an adaptative
process by the immigrants and a maintenance of the local ethnic migratory identity roots by the other
participants.
