Introduction: Violence, Migration, and Gender in the Portuguese-A nd Spanish-Speaking World, 1945-2019

Abstract

This special issue on violence, migration, and gender in the Portuguese-A nd Spanish-speaking world brings together specialists on the Iberian colonies in Africa as well as scholars focusing on the domestic impacts of decolonisation in Spain and Portugal to this day. The articles in the issue focus on social change broadly understood, analysed through a historical and anthropological lens. For the first time, this endeavour brings together questions related to violence and gender, forced migration, and administrative internment, as well as current (European) migration regimes, in an Iberian perspective.
