In doing so, it explores everyday encounters at work between the Portuguese migrants and their Angolan \"hosts\", and it analyses how the Luso-African postcolonial heritage interplays with the recent Portuguese-Angolan migration in the (re-)construction of power relations and identities. Based on ethnographic interviews, the book describes the Angolan-Portuguese relationship as characterized not only by hierarchies of power, but also by ambivalence and hybridity. This research demonstrates that the identities of the ex-colonized Angolan and the Portuguese ex-colonizer are shaped by a history of unequal and violent power relations. Further, it reveals how this history has produced a sense of intimacy between the two, and the often fraught nature of this relationship. Combining a strong connection to the field of migration studies with a postcolonial perspective, this original work will appeal to students and scholars of migration, postcolonial studies, the sociology of work and African Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa ﾅkesson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319730517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319730516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Lisa ﾅkesson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44125965385983,"sku":"9783319730516","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ac1f68a-5a80-4084-8bff-9c7279ed2854.jpg?v=1687445551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postcolonial-portuguese-migration-to-angola-lisa-kesson-9783319730516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
