The whole 48 minute documentary can be seen here: http://www.2hip4tv.com/show.php?i=Mzk%3D You have to register, but I'm not sure if there is a cost.

We (Mary Lee and me and the kids) used to live in Campinas, SP, which is just down the road from Cidade Americana. As I mentioned in http://onedroprule.org/viewtopic.php?p=4956#4956, fwsweet wrote: As I recall, the emigrants/refugees were from the Gulf Coast (Alabama, Louisiana), so they might have been less color-line strict than people of the time from the upper South (Virginia, North Carolina). They obviously intermarried after arriving in Sao Paulo. Recall that it was not until late in the century that Jim Crow brought today's obsessive color line to the lower south. Of course, modern-day Neo-Confederates (UDC, SCV) everywhere would probably freak out.

Well. it has been about 35 years now, but as I recall we lived in Cambui. The IBM plant where I worked was in Taquaral, and we belonged to the SHC (Sociedade Hipica Campineira) which was a bit out of town.

But in my work I also travelled to Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte and the surrounding towns). That was about it. We always took our vacations to the 'States or to PR, to visit the relatives.

Frank, if you want accents, go to control panel, select regional and language options select Languages, Details, add key board layout US-International. then every time you hit an accent it will allow you to either hit a space to do the accent or hit a letter to do the accented letter. Examples: ' áéíóúç `àèìòù "äëïöü ~ãõñ ^âêîôû I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones I use.

I've been looking for some but haven't had much luck.

I fear not. I seem to recall that they had some books for sale in the gift shop in Cidade Americana, but I did not buy any, although now I wish I had. I had no interest at the time.

A good English language book about these people would be great IMO.
