UMass Amherst Anthropology 106- Culture Through Film Exploring the hidden treasures of the Portuguese culture that quietly reside in Fall River, Massachusetts.
🇵🇹❤️🇵🇹And may we retain and preserve our unique roots, our beautiful culture and language. And most importantly, may we all continue to represent one another (across the globe) with love and respect (as we have for centuries). Abraços e beijinhos para todos os Portugueses do mundo. From Portugal, but living in South Africa. Proudly Portuguese❣️
@@jdonnelly508 Descupe, you're right, I made a huge mistake. Obrigato Amigo, You see, I'm from the Bucket (Pawtucket) so it seems like it's only down the street but I forgot you end up crossing over into Mass. My bad.
it really is a cool little place. Many US immigrant groups have lost their identity in many ways. The Portuguese of RI/SE MA and their descendants still tend to keep their culture and I am always impressed at how well some can speak the language, even the 2nd 3rd or 4th generations
So I come from an immigrant group the Italians who also have done their best to preserve culture. I think we are alike in a way in terms of preservation of culture and tradition. Much respect to the Portuguese community🇵🇹🇺🇸🇮🇹
I was there in 2010 and ate at a restaurant not far from Santo Christo. Some kind of octopus dish with root vegetables. One of the best foods I've ever tasted, anywhere.
Michaels will ship it but the shipping cost is huge. The Porteguese Kids on their you tube videos has a link you can order Michaels the price per pound is higher but no shipping costs. I'm in Midwest now that's what I do
@@thatoneportuguese6843 Yes however it's mostly spoken from Brazilians who came more recently than the Portuguese. The real tragedy is that the 2 largest ethnic groups in Massachusetts -- Irish and Italian -- barely speak the language of their ancestors.
this has to be old,,, because Fall River is NOTHING like i grew up in...allot has been taken down and the city is not have the Portuguese families like it use to be.... to many different cultures are taking over and now it is not safe at night>? why is everyone leaving the city they grew up in? it went to crap,,,, however thank goodness some of the restaurants and bakeries are still standing for i only go there for that,,,
Is the Costa's Fish Market in the video the same one that been there for 40 or 50 years? When I was growing up in Swansea, my parents bought fish and chips from a hole in the wall but very popular market that had THE BEST red sauce that I WISH I could duplicate...or at least buy and have sent to me. Oh my goodness...there was NOTHING like it...not then, nor since then. Delicious!
Then come to the USA, but I wouldn't advise you to start a new life in Fall River or Massachusetts. Look at the different areas around the USA. I was born and raised in FR, left for good in '95, left Massachusetts in '16. Glad I did.
@@johndoe-wv3nu yeah, maybe you’re right. But the idea of living there right now without a green card isn’t for me. I’ll definitely live there someday! Thanks for the encouragement!
the only company to ever do that was Quaker Fabric which had factories all across the city... but they are long gone since 2005... I have no portuguese in me and I have a great paying warehouse job in the north end of the city
I moved to Fall River....had 3 jobs in 3 weeks. The people here are awesome. not true. I was from Florida and there was no issue with getting a job. and I am not Portuguese.
I worked with a low-income white woman at a thrift store in Cambridge years ago. She said she was descended from the earlier various European groups who settled in New England, excluding Portuguese and other Southern Europeans. When I asked about how she identifies, she said she didn't have an ethnic identity other than "white" (her words). She spent part of her childhood in the poorer parts of Boston and Fall River. She would share anecdotes from Fall River, and had unpleasant things to say about the Portuguese and Portuguese Americans of Bristol County. She said Fall River is rundown, impoverished, and suffering from drug-related problems.
Marllon You sound like a self-entitled, Bostonian. I loathe that area. Regardless, Fall River is a shadow of it's former glory. It used to be the textile capital of the world. Now it's just shit.
Fall River turned to shit thanks to the NAFTA Agreement signed by Bill Clinton back in the mid 90s that allowed all our factories and businesses to up and leave the city to Mexico and China for cheap labor.. but think are about to get better. jobs and businesses are on the rise and the state is given the city grants for construction to give the city a big face lift.. get back to me in about two years and tell me the city is still shit...
I think the word "desolate" is not the right word to use to describe Fall River.. sure it's not what it was before the Great Depression, but it's still a significant metropolitan city in the Commonwealth
Hy how are you doing today. I am for new Bedford my last name is soares to So thanks for your time today And have a nice day God bless you and yours tell we meet again 🙏

Portuguese is still the second most common language in Massachusetts

@@johndoe-wv3nu unfortunately it’s easier said than done :/
@@LILIANA11able what's so hard? I know immigration isn't easy but you can do it. I think you will find more support here then you expect.

Muito bem!!

I heard a guy same one time u cant get a job in fall river unless your portuguese.
WHAT UP? good
That's not true lol. My family isn't Portuguese and they all have jobs.
the only company to ever do that was Quaker Fabric which had factories all across the city... but they are long gone since 2005... I have no portuguese in me and I have a great paying warehouse job in the north end of the city
I heard a guy say once, " idiots flourish online. In the comments section of TH-cam."
Go figure. He was absolutely correct!!!!
I moved to Fall River....had 3 jobs in 3 weeks. The people here are awesome. not true. I was from Florida and there was no issue with getting a job. and I am not Portuguese.
Chaves Market is nice, though Portugalia has them beat now.
Tom soares thanks for vídeo god blles you famyli usa welcome in Brazil post mor vídeos 👍
You know, the Braga Bridge is the longest in the world?
I'm half Portuguese and my dad's full one thing I can say is Portuguese like to eat
The best food!!! Can't beat the bakeries
I had to go on the bridge daily to get to my vavos
The camera panning was dizzying! Jeez!
Hank The Angry Drunken Dwarf was from here.. RIP 😔
Yes hidden beauty you home town

Perhaps she is of Irish or English ancestry.
I would have to say that is true for the most part..but it has its ups
@@jaredontvok it's been 2 years, the city is still shit
Gostei do Vídeo

saints in the yard sins in the house
Apple Candy how do you know, every 50 million portuguese people is that way?? racist
Hoopa !!!!!!!
i live here
Hy how are you doing today.
I am for new Bedford my last name is soares to
So thanks for your time today And have a nice day
God bless you and yours tell we meet again 🙏
what the hell does j cole and hip hop have to do with these portuguese people?
Question? Portuguese Bakeries or German Bakeries
If the Portuguese are so religious, why were they so brutal and why did the enslave so many people? Was it God's will?
Ironbound Newark NJ seems more Portuguese than Fall River.
Is Fall River little Puerto Rico?
do not say that the portuguese culture is the same has spanish or latin american culture thats a death sentece in the eyes of the portuguese
Well most Portuguese people hate Puerto Ricans in general.
@@alexanderarce3341
why would you say something like that??
We like Puerto Rico culture!
Respect ✊🏼
