Having built much of their wealth, power, and identities on
imperial expansion, how did the Portuguese and, by extension,
Europeans deal with the end of empire? Postcolonial People explores
the processes and consequences of decolonization through the
histories of over half a million Portuguese settlers who 'returned'
following the 1974 Carnation Revolution from Angola, Mozambique,
and other parts of Portugal's crumbling empire to their country of
origin and citizenship, itself undergoing significant upheaval.
Looking comprehensively at the returnees' history and memory for
the first time, this book contributes to debates about colonial
racism and its afterlives. It studies migration, 'refugeeness,' and
integration to expose an apparent paradox: The end of empire and
the return migrations it triggered belong to a global history of
the twentieth century and are shaped by transnational dynamics.
However, they have done nothing to dethrone the primacy of the
nation-state. If anything, they have reinforced it.
