Like other immigrant populations, many of the new arrivals were undocumented, but, unlike other groups, most were from middle-class backgrounds and few wished to extend their stay beyond a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, there are at least 150,000 Brazilians in the greater New York metropolitan area--many famously employed as the city's fleet of shoeshiners--and likely over one million throughout the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this revised and expanded edition, Maxine L.
