  • Description: Abstract This paper examines how Brazilians remodeled their international migration routes to the “First World” after the September 11 attacks. It explores the connections between the temporary suspension of Brazilian migration to the United States and the rise of the United Kingdom as the main destination. To shed light on the production of new routes by Brazilians, the paper unfolds personal migration journeys performed to overcome border controls set by the UK. The empirical data at the basis of this article come from a broadly qualitative, ethnographic approach, which comprised multi-sited fieldwork in the UK and Brazil, and two sets of oral histories conducted with migrants, travel agents, and returned migrants between 2010 and 2016. Based on these sources, the article shows how migrants developed tactical border crossing movements to negotiate with institutions and structures of power that control and constrain their movements with threats. Resumo Este artigo examina como brasileiros remodelaram suas rotas migratórias internacionais para o “Primeiro Mundo” após os ataques de 11 de setembro. Ele explora as conexões entre a suspensão temporária da migração brasileira para os Estados Unidos e a ascensão do Reino Unido como principal destino. Para lançar luz sobre a produção de novas rotas migratórias, buscou-se compreender como essas viagens são realizadas individualmente com o intuito de superar o regime de fronteira do Reino Unido. Nesse sentido, os dados empíricos que fundamentam esse argumento são provenientes de uma abordagem etnográfica qualitativa, que incluiu trabalho de campo no Reino Unido e no Brasil (entre 2010 e 2016). Ademais, contou com entrevistas focadas em história oral conduzidas com migrantes, agentes de viagem e retornados. Com base nisso, o artigo explora como migrantes desenvolveram mobilidades táticas de fronteira migratória com o intuito de superar regimes migratórios.
