Placed in the wider scope of post-war European decolonisation
migrations, The Retornados from the Portuguese Colonies in Africa
looks at the "Return" of the Portuguese nationals living in the
African colonies when they became independent. Using an
interdisciplinary research agenda, the book presents a collection
of research essays written by experts in the fields of
anthropology, history, literature and the arts, that look at a wide
range of memory narratives through which the Return-as well as the
experiences of war, violence, loss and trauma-have been expressed,
contested and internalised in the social realm. These narratives
include testimonial accounts from the so-called retornados from
Africa and their descendants, as well as works of fiction and
public memory-novels, television series, artworks, films or social
media-that have come to mediate the public understanding of this
past. Through the dialogue between these different narrative modes,
this book intends to explore the interplay between official memory,
the lived experience and fiction, thus contributing to build an
empirical basis to critically discuss the memory of the end of the
Portuguese empire within postcolonial Europe. This book will be of
great interest to postgraduates, researchers and academics, most
notably the ones working in the fields of postcolonial studies,
cultural studies and memory studies.
