Abstract

In the mid-2000s, Portuguese emigration seemed to be a thing of the past. Having joined the European Economic Community in 1986, Portugal was presented by much of the political and media discourse as a modern and developed country. Since the 1990s, Portugal had been receiving immigrants, a phenomenon presented as a symbol of its successful Europeanization. However, at the end of the 2000s, the country was strongly affected by the global economic and financial crisis, and in the 2010s, almost 900,000 people emigrated. This return of emigration shocked Portuguese public opinion and led to numerous studies on this “new” migratory flow.
