Postcolonial Portuguese migration to Angolamigrants or masters? /[electronic resource] :by Lisa Akesson. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xi, 154 p. :digital ;22 cm. - Migration, diasporas and citizenship. - Migration, diasporas and citizenship..

Chapter 1: Introduction: Setting the scene -- Chapter 2: Postcolonial encounters in a lusotropical world -- Chapter 3: Mobile subjects -- Chapter 4: Changing relations of power and the party-state -- Chapter 5: The power in and of labour relations -- Chapter 6: Identities at work -- Chapter 7: Conclusions: Continuity, rupture and hybridity.

Grounded in extensive and original ethnographic fieldwork, this book makes a novel contribution to migration studies by examining a European labour migration to the Global South, namely contemporary Portuguese migration to Angola in a postcolonial context. In doing so, it explores everyday encounters at work between the Portuguese migrants and their Angolan "hosts", and it analyses how the Luso-African postcolonial heritage interplays with the recent Portuguese-Angolan migration in the (re-)construction of power relations and identities. Based on ethnographic interviews, the book describes the Angolan-Portuguese relationship as characterized not only by hierarchies of power, but also by ambivalence and hybridity. This research demonstrates that the identities of the ex-colonized Angolan and the Portuguese ex-colonizer are shaped by a history of unequal and violent power relations. Further, it reveals how this history has produced a sense of intimacy between the two, and the often fraught nature of this relationship. Combining a strong connection to the field of migration studies with a postcolonial perspective, this original work will appeal to students and scholars of migration, postcolonial studies, the sociology of work and African Studies.
