This Pilgrim Nation: The Making of the Portuguese Diaspora in Postwar North America

"This Pilgrim Nation explores the social, cultural, economic, and political processes involved in the development of the Portuguese communities in the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada. With insightful description, and historiography, this excellent book will appeal to cultivated readers interested in modern history, emigration studies, transnational cultural and political history of the ‘global 1960s,’ and small communities of citizens of Portuguese descent."

"Detailed, thorough, and solid, This Pilgrim Nation offers a refined and detailed analysis of Portuguese immigrant communities in North America, and the Portuguese diaspora in the period between 1945 and roughly 1980. This was a period of profound change in Portugal and the author demonstrates how these changes shaped and were shaped by the diaspora."
