CFP - Special Issue of the Portuguese Studies Review - Identities in the Lusophone World: Impacts of Education, Economics, Nationalism, Religion and Settlement

The Portuguese Studies Review (the official journal of the Canada-based Lusophone Studies Association) is seeking manuscripts for a Special Issue on Identities in the Lusophone World: Impacts of Education, Economics, Nationalism, Religion and Settlement. Please see the attached document and below.

This volume will examine how Lusophone identities (the identities of Portuguese-language peoples) have been - and are presently - influenced by economic, educational, cultural, linguistic, religious, colonial, postcolonial, pre- and post-migratory realities.

Manuscripts focusing on the following questions will be considered:

• What factors contribute to the process of identity negotiation in Lusophone populations?
• What are the roles of education, nationalism, religion, and settlement in promoting a national, ethnic, or transnational identity?
• For migrant diasporas, what factors influence settlement, integration and belonging into host societies? For example, how do integration policies and practices, such as multiculturalism and/or assimilationist practices, contribute to a sense of citizenship in host societies?
• What are the effects of colonialism and post-colonialism on Lusophone identities?
• What are some possible imagined futures, concerning Lusophone identities?
• What are the relationships between language and identities?

Other themes related to education, citizenship, identity and belonging will also be considered.
