Abstract

Case study with the objective of analyzing the adaptive process of African immigrant students in Ceará, at the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony in Redenção-Ceará-Brazil. Eleven (11) students from Portuguese-Speaking African Countries (PALOP'S) participated in the study. According to nationality, we include: 03 (three) from Mozambique; 02 (two) of Sao Tome and Principe; 02 (two) Green cable; 02 (two) from Angola; and 02 (two) from Guinea-Bissau. The students were in the age group of 22 to 32 years. In relation to the monthly income, the individual ranged from R $ 500.00 to R $ 1,020.00, and the family from R $ 500.00 to R $ 1.300.00. Among the students, we identified risk factors for Hypertensive Pregnancy Syndrome in addition to black. The reasons for the migration were related to the search for an academic formation, to obtain better conditions of work and professional achievement and to make improvements to the relatives and acquaintances of the Country of origin upon their return. For seven students there were facilities, and these were related to opportunity for study funded, freedom, security, better living conditions, and maturity. The difficulties of adaptation in the country were inherent to the type of food, climate, culture, racism / prejudice, cost of housing, access to health services, insecurity and violence. From the analysis of the results, we consider that African immigrant students faced difficulties in the adaptive migratory process mediated by cultural difference, discrimination, racism and purchasing power short of local offerings related to meeting their basic needs.
