Although the migrations between the frontier countries of the Amazon related to the Pre-Colonial period, about which there are information on Indigenous displacements, contemporaneously they have adquired a new perspective. Influenced by issues of socioeconomic nature, a migratory flux from Brasil to French Guyana has persisted since the years of 1960, in a way that the states of the Brazilian North region - particularly Pará e Amapá - are the ones that send away labor, in general with low specialization, to work in this French Ultramarine Departament. Based in bibliographic material, data and doccuments produced in the field, this work has the aim to build undestandings about the Brazilian exodus to French Guyana, though they have to face adverse situations marked by discriminatory processes, diverse violences and desillusions. In spite of this, it can be verified that the dream of a better life will continue to inspire the emmigration in this part of the Amazon, even that the French authorities intensify the restrictions to this sociospatial movement in the future.
Key words: Migration, work, Brazil, French Guyana.
