Migrações e culturas numa perspetiva histórica

Abstract

Throughout human history we have witnessed migratory movements motivated by climatic, war, political, religious, and economic issues, among others. This is, in fact, a theme that marks the news today in different parts of the globe, from the Mediterranean to the US/Mexico border, from South Africa to Australia. In an attempt to look historically at the phenomenon of migrations, HISTÓRIA - REVISTA DA FLUP has launched a call for papers, with particular interest in the connection between migrations and culture. This introductory text presents the three texts published in the present issue.
