“…Portuguese emigration to Angola can understood as part of a new, post-colonial, work-related type of migration that characterises contemporary North-South flows (Santos 2013). Studies in this area are, for the most part, yet to be undertaken.…”

“…At an individual level, the former colony's status explains the transnational ties left over from colonial days. These ties were reactivated by both the returnees and their descendants after the civil war had ended (Santos 2013).…”

“…In this context it is not surprising that, at the turn of the millennium, Angola was one of the three African countries with the highest number of Portuguese residents, together with Mozambique and South Africa (Ferreira 2001). We should note the duality of current Portuguese emigration to Angola: on the one hand, there are the middle-class expatriates who often have high levels of technical training as well as very highly-skilled professionals living in luxury housing and hotels whose expenses are paid by the companies employing them; on the other hand, there are some traditional low-skilled working-class emigrants (Santos 2013). A recent surveybased study of the socio-demographic profiles of Portuguese emigrants residing in Angola (Sangreman et al 2015) indicates that the population is mostly adult, male and with higher-education qualifications.…”

“…These result from the close, long-standing historical ties that exist between Portugal and Angola -notwithstanding the moments of tension and reconciliation inherent in the complex relationship that developed between the two as a result of the lengthy colonial period. Angola was Portugal's oldest and largest colony in Africa, and it experienced a large influx of Portuguese colonists during the 1950s and 1960s (Castelo 2007;Santos 2013). Considered the "jewel in the crown" during the final stage of Portuguese colonialism, it was the last colony to attain its independence (November 1975).…”

“…The exception lay in some solidarity workers or "cooperantes" settling in the country for fixed periods determined by their labour agreements (Pereira 1991). Furthermore, during this period, a number of smallscale entrepreneurs and shop owners stayed behind in Angola and made the new country their home (Galito 2015;Santos 2013).…”

It is impossible to think about current Portuguese emigration without thinking of Angola which, both as an independent country and a former colony, has played an important role in the history of migration from Portugal. After 2004-2005, when emigration to the country began to increase again, Angola became one of Portuguese emigrants' main destinations. Despite the scarcity of statistical data, we know that Angola retained this status until 2013, after which it lost significance in absolute P. Candeias

The Fourth Wave of Portuguese Emigration: Austerity Policies, European Peripheries and Postcolonial Continuities

Little is known about emigration in European countries. Migratory pressure and the recent refugee crisis have helped keep academic attention over the last few decades focused on immigration, asylum and integration in Europe. However, these dynamics promoting entries into European countries coexist with other fairly significant dynamics promoting departures from these countries. The sovereign debt crisis coupled with austerity policies that asymmetrically affected Europe’s peripheral countries have increased emigration in various European countries. Our book aims to counter the invisibility of emigration from European countries in the literature by examining the particularities of the Portuguese case. In methodological terms, the book compiles the work of authors from different academic backgrounds who have conducted empirical research using a wide variety of extensive and intensive methods. It is argued that when analysing recent Portuguese emigration it is important to examine in further detail: (i) the impact of the 2008 economic and financial crisis and the austerity policies that followed in its wake; (ii) south-north emigration in Europe; (iii) north-south emigration outside Europe and post-colonial continuities; (iv) the importance of reassessing the existing model of Southern European migration; (v) highly skilled and less skilled migration; and finally, (vi) emigrants’ and their descendants’ identities.
