There is a Brazilian diaspora in Mexico. Although the first Portuguese-speaking immigrants in Mexico were the Portuguese, Brazilians today are the largest Portuguese-speaking community living in the country, numbering around 45,000 individuals.

History

[edit]

There has been a Brazilian presence in Mexico since at least 1895, when the National Census counted 91 residents.[2] As a result of the 1964 Brazilian coup d'état, around one hundred individuals were admitted into Mexico as political refugees.[3]

Institutions

[edit]

Founded in 1945 in Mexico City, the main cultural organization is the Centro Cultural Brasil-México.[4] With more than fourteen thousand works, the center houses the largest collection of Brazilian books in Mexico.[4] The collection grew through the donations from the Brazilian community, the Brazilian Embassy and publishers that have participated in the Guadalajara International Book Fair.[4]
