According to the 1990 census 94,000 Brazilians lived in the U.S., concentrating in the Northeast. But, other estimates contend there could have been an up to 80% undercount and, as anthropologist Maxine Margolis puts it, part of that undercount is due to "their enigmatic ethnicity." Margolis, who has studied the Brazilian community in New York, says that in the United States, Latin America is often portrayed as a single Spanish-speaking civilization. But Brazil, whose citizens speak Portuguese, is often overlooked. In the U.S. the commonwealth of Massachusetts has the second largest population of Brazilian immigrants, and Cape Cod has the fastest growing Brazilian community within the state. Monica Brady prepared this report.(4:58) SEGMENT #2 Latino USA host Maria Hinojosa speaks with Rosental Alves, journalist and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, about the issues surrounding Brazilians and their place in the Latino community. (4:17 SELF-CONTAINED) SEGMENT #3 Brazil is the economic giant of South America and the fifth most populous country in the world. So it's no surprise that when the country finds itself in economic trouble, repercussions are felt across the continent. Late last year, Brazil's economy crashed, causing massive layoffs and leading ordinary people to tighten their belts . A far cry from the booming economy of just five years ago. Reporter Reese Erlich, who visited Brazil in 1994 and again this year, examines the impact of Brazil's latest economic crisis through the eyes of Brazilian auto workers. (5:23) SEGMENT #4 Brazilian popular music or MPB, has been familiar to U.S. Jazz musicians for decades. More recently the cut-&-paste experimentation of late 60's and 70's Brazilian pop has begun to inspire musicians such as David Byrne, Stereo Lab, and Beck. Conversely, American music is impacting Brazilian pop more and more. Music critic Ricardo Mendoza gives us an overview of Brazilian popular music and two artists who are forging current innovations in MPB.
