Abstract
This is a qualitative study based on the collection of oral histories of Portuguese immigrants and their descendants arrived in Brazil in the first half of 20 t h century gone to the agricultural zone of the State of Sdo Paulo, as well as on documental material, existing either in official institutions and Portuguese entities or with interviewee families. In a social-anthropological approach, this study focused on different fields: familiar life, work, education, culture, leisure, religion and politics. Its theoretical referencial is the thought of Pierre Bourdieu. These immigrants came from the North of Portugal, in its majority due to the economic difficulties found in the native land and the perspective of a better life in Brazil. They worked initially in coffee plantations, but as time went by a big part of them moved to the urban zone, where they dedicated themselves to the commerce and small industry.
