Wild Geese (movement in culture)

The "Wild Geese" movement in culture refers to the migration of talented African-Brazilian intellectuals, artists, and professionals from Brazil to abroad, especially during the 20th century. Named metaphorically after wild geese that fly south for better opportunities, this phenomenon highlights how these individuals sought environments that valued their talents and offered greater opportunities for growth. It reflects broader themes of cultural exchange, identity, and post-colonial diaspora, illustrating how migration can influence both the countries of origin and those they move to, shaping cultural and intellectual landscapes worldwide.
