Abstract
ROCHA, Gilberta Pavão Nunes and FERREIRA, Eduardo. Azorean emigration in the context of social change: some notes from the press in São Miguel (1920-1950). e-JPH [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.2, pp.56-72. ISSN 1645-6432.
Changes in the volume of Azorean emigration between 1920 and 1950 transformed the demographic pattern of the archipelago, introducing significant socioeconomic adjustments into its new demographic configuration. However, it seems safe to argue that on the whole, unlike later periods, this was not a period of significant change in the contents of the newspaper articles that were written on the subject, even if some conflicting opinions were occasionally produced.
Keywords : Emigration; population; press; discourse; Azores.
