Although the post-colonial situation has attracted considerable
interest over recent years, one important colonial power - Portugal
- has not been given any attention. This book is the first to
explore notions of ethnicity, "race", culture, and nation in the
context of the debate on colonialism and postcolonialism. The
structure of the book reflects a trajectory of research, starting
with a case study in Trinidad, followed by another one in Brazil,
and ending with yet another one in Portugal. The three case
studies, written in the ethnographic genre, are intertwined with
essays of a more theoretical nature. The non-monographic, composite
- or hybrid - nature of this work may be in itself an indication of
the need for transnational and historically grounded research when
dealing with issues of representations of identity that were
constructed during colonial times and that are today reconfigured
in the ideological struggles over cultural meanings.
