Title of Research Project: ‘African Mozambican Immigrants in the former ‘motherland’:
The portrait of a postcolonial Portugal’
Research Proposal:
This project aims to re-interpret and re-think the effects of Portuguese colonialism, by giving
a ‘voice’ to those who were categorised by the colonial regime as ‘assimilated’ individuals,
and decided - after Mozambican independence (1975) - to pursue their lives in their former
‘motherland’. The study of African Mozambican immigrants’ narratives of identity and life
trajectories will be carried out in order to gain insight into: who/what is Portugal after
decolonisation?; what kind of affinity has Portugal established with its ex-assimilated
subjects, finally does Portugal reveal any form of postcolonial consciousness regarding
African Mozambican immigrants’ hybrid identities? Moreover, this study also aims to take
into account the reflections of Portuguese writers, politicians and researchers in order to
consider their perceptions of the state of postcolonial Portugal alongside those expressed by
African Mozambican immigrants. The analysis of narrative was chosen as the appropriate
methodology for this research.
Coordinators: Professor Hilary Owen (University of Manchester) and Professor Paula
Meneses (University of Coimbra)
Completed Outputs: Manuscript (with plans to publish as a book): title –“Portugal Híbrido,
Portugal Europeu? Gentes do ‘Sul’ mesmo aqui ao lado”; and documentary with the same
title.

PhD in Ethnic Relations
United Kingdom
Thesis: “African Mozambican Immigrants: Narrative of Immigration and Identity,
and Acculturation Strategies in Portugal and England”.
This research project aimed to argue that the notions of ethnic identity, ethnic group
and ethnicity should be thought of as socially constructed. In order to support the
above proposition, fieldwork was undertaken by examining African Mozambicans’
narratives of immigration and identity, and acculturation strategies in Portugal and
in England.
It was concluded, on the one hand, that the notions of ethnic identity, ethnic group
and ethnicity are socially constructed, on the other hand, that the term ethnicity
should be addressed as a detached human experience from the terms of ethnic
identity and ethnic group.
