• Resumen

  • The text analyzes the contradictions, ambiguities and accommodations underlying the remodelling of Portugal from an imperial metropolis into a European post-colonial nation.

    It focuses on two interrelated and contradictory facets of national redefinition � namely, the incorporation of Portuguese transnational migrants into the nation and Portugal�s transformation into a receptor of immigrants from its former colonies.
