I ingua Portuguese .253 Salazar Ferro Universidade de Coimbra r- The collectio'i of papers Xi this volume represents the collaborative effort of a number of educators in the field of bilingual education to extend effective educational opportunities to native speakers of Portuguese. Since the implemen- tation of. Portuguese, bilingual programs in the United States some nine years ago, much' success has been achieved. However, this success has not been easily att. ned, considering the paucity of scholarly- research in Portuguese bilingual education. Such neglect has historical precedence, as pointed out by John J. Nitti: For some time, the study of the Portuguese language had been relegated to a position of minor importance in the curriculum of American colleges and universities.(1) The above statement is undeniably true, yet difficult to comprehend. Over one hundred million people on various continents use Portuguese as their vehicle of communication. In New England alone, a sizable portion of the population is Portuguese-speaking. The influx of Portuguese immigration has been most heavily felt in the southeastern New England region, especially Rhode Island. Since the changes in immigration quotas in 1965, The largest groups of limited English speakers have arrived from Portugal, the Azores and thse Cape Verde Islands. The 1975 Annual Report of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Department of Justice, dramatic- ally documents the tremendous influx of arrivals whose country of allegiance has been Portugal. Between 1820 and 1975 3 total of 411,136 immigrants arrived in the United States from Portugal or territories controlled by Portugal. Of this total, 113,773 or 28 eercent arrived in the ten-year period from 1966 to 1975. During the period of 1951-1960, the number of immigrants from Portugal placed it 15th out of thirty-two countries con- sidered Europe by the Immigrationand Naturalization vice. During the period 1961-1965 it ranked 10th. Beliveen 1966 and 1973, it ranked 4th each year as the, country of allegiance In 1974 it had moved to 2nd place and in 1975, immigrants from Portugal exceeded those from all other countries considered Europe. (2) kJ The Jvave of Portuguese immigcants to southern New England has had a considerable impact on educational agencies and public schools, creating sericus educational dilemmas. As a result, schools have reported a myriad,of problematic situations concerning the education of Portuguese-speaking stu- dents, as well as a high rate of attrition among this student population. The difficulty of local educational agencies in meming the needs of Portuguese-speaking students stems mainly from the lack of trained personnel who can effectively deal with the educational and psychological problems of these students. This lack is a reflection of the neg;ect by institutions of higher i education in southeastern New England in the preparation of qualified educa- tors in the field of Portuguese studies. The few institutions offering a major in Portuguese are mainly private colleges and universities which are beyond the economic reach of I5ortuguese immigrants. The public colleges and uni- versities which do offer Portuguese as a field of study generally have procrams limited in scope and resources, while most ethers offer even less or nothing in Portuguese. Consequently, there has never been a viable tradition of Portuguese scholarship in this region that would inspire disciples to carry out scholarly research 44 the field of Pprtuguese studies. The paucity of research in this area has prompted me to seek Portuguese educators from various disciplines to present their research findings in

  • Portugal's Colonized Colonialism
    JOÃO M. PaRaSKEVa1 PORTUgAL’S COLONiZED COLONiALiSM A Prospering Calibanian Paradoxal Identity2 A PaRadOxIcaL IdENtItY In this chapter attempts to challenge a lethal commonsensical commonsense set of discourses and practices constructed by António Salazar’s dictatorship regime that ‘Portugal will always be an African nation.’ It is an analysis over the way ideology underlies social, cultural and political discourse and racist actions. In so doing we were able, not only to demystify how such despotic claim is deeply rooted within the very marrow of Portuguese capitalist colonial and neo-colonial strategy which was (and still is) framed by what we might call a ‘paradox identity framework,’ but also to denounce how curriculum content—via textbooks—has judicial record perpetuating an intricate reracializing political scaffold that positively tries to crystallize and legitimize a particular kind of western hegemony. We end our analyses claiming for the need to work within the critical race theory platform as a way to debunk the endemic western ‘we.’ In one of his flamboyant and ostentatious remarks the Portuguese dictator António Salazar claimed that ‘Portugal will always be an African nation.’ Such a despotic statement requires cautious consideration of two things in particular. First, it is important to understand in depth the reasons why António Salazar and ‘his regime[s of truth]’ claimed such an identity and, second, in understanding these reasons, one has to analyze how schooling has perpetuated what one might call a bizarre reracializing policy. A good way to start this radical critical analysis is to clarify specific political particularities of the Portuguese dictatorship epoch.

  • Portuguese Perspectives and Approaches
    GLOBAL FORUM ON MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT Manila, Philippines, 27-30 October 2008-10-22 Roundtable 1: Migration, Development and Human Rights Roundtable Session 1.2 EMPOWERING MIGRANTS AND DIASPORA TO CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPMENT Portuguese Perspectives and Approaches 1- Introduction Portugal has had a long history of migration flows ever since it has initiated the maritime discoveries in the 15th century. Fundamental changes have occurred along all these centuries, making our Diaspora a true universal movement. In the last decades of the 20th century, Portugal witnessed a deep transformation in its population structure, and from a being a country of origin of migration, Portugal became also a hosting country. Apart from the increase in the number of immigrants, significant modifications in the structure of foreign nationals in Portugal occurred, going beyond the traditional scope of immigration model in Portugal. There are now immigrants coming from various continents - from Africa, and not only from the Portuguese Speaking African countries, from America, mainly from Brazil and Europe, mainly from Central and Eastern Europe. Over the last thirty years, our country has been faced with an ethnic and cultural diversity within its national borders, with the urgent need to adapt itself to a new reality. Given the cultural and social profile of the Portuguese people, its Diaspora history and its innate capacity to dialogue with other countries and cultures, it has been possible to develop a model of intercultural society, where the cultural and religious elements do coexist and interact. Migration is a multidimensional phenomenon that requires a holistic approach and Portugal is firmly committed to debate the maximization of the development benefits of migration.

  • Portuguese Americans' Acculturation
    PORTUGUESE AMERICANS’ ACCULTURATION, SOCIOECONOMIC INTEGRATION, AND AMALGAMATION How far have they advanced? Dulce Maria Scott Introduction Utilizing data from Censuses 1980, 1990, and 2000, the 2005 and 2006 American Community Surveys, and the 2006 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, this paper analyzes the acculturation, socioeconomic integration, and amalgamation trends of Portuguese immigrants and their descendents in the United States. In order to draw more informed conclusions about the Portuguese experience along these three dimensions of assimilation, I compare it to those of other immigrant groups in the United States, including the Irish, the Italian, the Greek, and the Brazilians. I selected these groups based on the time when they first began to arrive in the Uni- ted States — the Irish first, followed by the Italians, the Portuguese and the Greeks, and later the Brazilians. The United States gained its independence in 1776, but it was not until the 1820s that immigration from Europe began to occur in large numbers. Until about the middle of the 19th century, immigrants originated primarily in Germany and Ireland. In the second half of the 19th century the source of immigration changed from northern Europe to Southern and Eastern Europe. The largest immigrant group arriving at this time was from Italy.This pattern of immigration from Europe continued until the 1920s, when immigration restrictions were put in place with the National Origins Act. Under this law, immigration to the United States was gre- atly reduced until the Immigration Act of 1965, which opened immigration to all countries in the world and established a system of preferences based on family reu- nification and the labor needs of the United States, among other factors.

    The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York Part of an ongoing series of briefs prepared by the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force Hon. Sheldon Silver, Speaker Hon. Peter M. Rivera, Chair Prepared by Michael Fondacaro Edited by Guillermo A. Martinez April 2006 Preface Today, the headlines that once declared our rise to being the largest ethnic minority in the nation have been replaced with headlines proclaiming that the “Sleeping Giant” has awoken. Reactionary immigration policies have prompted diligent action from our communities that have in turn placed millions of people in protest marches across the nation. A new civil rights movement has been born. The work of the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force is fueled by such passionate demands for justice and fairness. It is clearly obvious that no wall, no army, no policy will reverse the critical mass that has already been reached with the present growth of the Latino community throughout this nation. Every 2.5 seconds, there is another Latino in the United States; this mostly through births from the children of first generation immigrants. We indeed are the future of this nation. Inclusive, practical and fair policies that embrace our growing communities will lay the groundwork for a prosperous America. Nothing short of this will suffice. This reality should be embraced by policy makers and elected officials across New York State because the growth mentioned above is dynamic especially here in our State. This publication, The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York, clearly outlines the demographic changes impacting New York and briefly highlights some issues that need more government attention, especially if Upstate economies are to grow.
