Abstract:
What is the relationship between immigration, health, and the built environment? This article focuses on Bom Retiro, a textile industry-dominated, immigrant-populated zone of about forty thousand people in the center of São Paulo, Brazil, the largest city in the Americas. It analyzes structural racism, memory and self-representation, and Jewish and Arab economic trajectories. Bom Retiro reflects the socioeconomic and racial diversity of São Paulo and is like many other immigrant-populated neighborhoods around the globe. The neighborhood’s residents, and attitudes about them, were critical to the making of São Paulo.
