In Search of Identity

Synopsis: Tells the story of some of the immigrants to Sao Paulo who are actively contributing to the development of their adopted city. Many fear that the world is heading inexorably toward one dominant culture, but different ethnic and social groups everywhere are more than ever determined to affirm their identity and diversity. Sao Paulo is one of the largest cities in the world with a population of 17m - larger than many small countries. It is one of the most exciting places in the world to look for the evolution of a vibrant popular culture and at how immigrant groups can prosper by developing rather than burying their traditions.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
