Abstract

HAVIK, Philip J.. Introduction: Migrations, Diasporas, and Identities in Lusophone Africa. e-JPH [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp.6-29.  Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 1645-6432.  https://doi.org/10.26300/dhpz-th85.

The historiography of modalities and trajectories of human mobility has engaged with imperial and postcolonial perspectives, highlighting the erstwhile and lingering connections between the former colonies and their European metropoles. Areas of former Portuguese presence in Africa are no exception to the rule. This special issue places coerced and voluntary migrations, and the socioeconomic, political, and cultural connections that emerged over time in a long-term regional African perspective. This publication brings together contributions on micro- and meso-histories of South-South migrations and diasporas with an emphasis on population movements, narratives, identities, and practices in empire and the post-colony.

Keywords : Migrations; diasporas; trajectories; social change; identities; Africa; Portugal.
