A Migratory Saga

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book presents the account of the numerous migratory adventures experienced by the family of the author, Maria Gravina Ogata, in Brazil. It tells the saga of Italian and Japanese immigrants whose paths crossed in the city of São Paulo, spanning several generations until the arrival of their grandchildren, who are the result of a mixture of ethnicities-something very common in Brazil. Historical aspects are portrayed concerning the migratory diasporas of the late 19th century, the entire 20th century, and the beginning of the 21st century. This essay illustrates the crucial moments Brazilians have experienced, showing how a nation that once welcomed many immigrants is now becoming a country of emigration, from which many depart in search of new horizons and better living conditions. In a broader historical context, this socio-historical essay addresses a theme involving nation-states and their borders, whose functions are in constant transformation in this globalized world. Although migration has often been regarded as a threat to the security of these states, this work demonstrates how positive the cultural, social, and economic changes brought about by migratory processes have been. The first publication, dated 2018 and titled "Os samurais alagoanos e a bambina paulista: migrar é preciso...", was revised in 2019 and published in Italy under the title "La bambina e i samurai brasiliani: una saga migratória", receiving many literary awards in that country. The current edition, published by Literare Books International, includes a revision and update of the historical facts up to 2022, as many events have taken place in the family and in the world since this socio-historical essay was first released. Maria Gravina Ogata - Geographer and Master in Geography from the University of São Paulo (USP); Bachelor of Law from the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA); and PhD in Public Administration from the Faculty of Sociology and Political Science of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). She was born in Polignano a Mare, in the Puglia region of Italy, and emigrated with her family to Brazil at the age of two. She holds both Brazilian and Italian citizenships. Maria Gravina married Takayoshi Ogata, a descendant of Japanese immigrants, with whom she has four children. She lived in Bahia for 38 years, pursuing a career in public service, holding various positions in the state government's planning and environmental departments. With the birth of her five grandchildren, the desire to write became increasingly present. Her first literary work was the children's book "O amiguinho inesperado" (The Unexpected Little Friend), published by Reino Editorial, São Paulo/2016. Her second children's book is titled "O sumiço dos ovos do meu quintal" (The Disappearance of the Eggs in My Backyard), published by Scortecci Editora, São Paulo/2021. In 2018, she released "Os samurais alagoanos e a bambina paulista: migrar é preciso" (The Alagoas Samurai and the Paulista Girl: Migration Is Necessary), published by Scortecci Editora, São Paulo, which was later published in Italian as "La bambina e i samurai brasiliani: una saga migratoria" (Edizione Il Viandanti, 2019), winning multiple literary awards in Italy. This book, updated and revised, is now republished by Literare Books International under the title "As bambinas e os samurais brasileiros: uma saga migratória" (The Brazilian Girls and the Samurai: A Migratory Saga). She is currently a writer and works as a legal consultant in the areas of environmental law and water resources. Maria Gravina Ogata lives in Brazil, in Cotia/São Paulo, and in Italy, in Montebelluna/Veneto.
