O sucesso da vergonha estudo de caso: zambezíanos no Mercado do Estrela Vermelha em Maputo

Abstract

Rural Exodus is one of the most prevailing characteristics of Mozambican population. In this study is going to analyze the processes of social mobility of Mozambican rural migrants in the arrival zones, specifically the zambezian informal vendors, who trade in the Estrela Vermelha market, Maputo City. Our main aim is to identify their social profile, comprehend the processes of their integration, as well as the reasons of their permanence in the arrival zone. Evoking the theoretical and interactional framework, this study is based on two main assumptions: The first, assumption advocates that the settlement of zambezian immigrants in Maputo city is due to shame that they feel to return to their origin zone without having achieved the goals that moved them to this city (the improvement of their livelihood conditions). The second assumption, advocates that their settlement is in this city is due to the fact of having established social groups or networks in the arrival zone, which enable them to restart life away from their original contexts. The study was construed under three methods, namely, the deductive-hypothetic method, essay writing method and statistical method
