- W1770368546 abstract "This paper explores the experience of recent migrants from Portuguese-speaking Africa - Angola, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau - in Britain’s West Midlands. Its theoretical focus is on the relationship between postcolonialism and integration, and its emphasis is on the ways in which migrants’ scope for building new lives (integrating) is mediated through and challenged by discourses and expectations that reflect distinct and contradictory experiences of colonialism on their part and that of their British interlocutors. The paper accordingly draws on qualitative social research, in the form of interviews with Luso-African migrants living in Birmingham, UK. A key object of the interviews was to elicit migrants’ account of the host city and of the host city’s perception of them. It sets these data in the context of material evidence for integration, language skills, participation in social networks. The paper argues that, in order to understand the migrants’ experiences of integration into British society, an understanding of their colonial memory is a prerequisite, and this in turn requires an understanding of the intellectual narratives of postcolonial literatures. Knowledge of the colonial past is important for our understanding of the migrants’ experience. Significantly, problems of integration result from a dualism which is established between the ‘periphery’, where the colonised are, and the ‘centre’, where the coloniser are located. The gap between the two is still wide and they remain suspicious of each other." @default.
