Abstract

Anthropologic movements within Brazil have traditionally been due to economic imbalances between regions, boom and bust cycles of natural commodities, frontier settlement, industrialization, and climate patterns. Oftentimes, the interactions of two or more of these factors resulted in major demographic changes, such as experienced during the rubber boom and drought of the 1870s. While migration has historically been a choice of the migrant in an attempt to improve their life, climate change models suggest the probability of an unprecedented number of involuntarily displaced people from Northeastern Region of Brazil due to increasingly common and severe droughts.
