Editor's Note:
Wiriamu. Descolonização. Compensações. Alcindo Monteiro. Integração. Racismo. Analisar o Portugal pós-colonial é urgente, e João Pedro George entregou-se sem medos a essa missão. Entre 1974 e 1981, Portugal acolheu e integrou cerca de setecentas mil pessoas chegadas dos antigos territórios ultramarinos portugueses no continente Angola, Moçambique, Guiné, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe. Numa época como aquela, política, social e economicamente instável, o extraordinário afluxo destes «retornados», como ficariam conhecidos, gerou uma enorme hostilidade em grande parte da população metropolitana, que se apressou a rotulá-los de imperialistas, racistas, colonialistas e reacionários. Muitos dos que regressavam à Metrópole, por sua vez, assumiram-se como críticos encarniçados da descolonização, um discurso que encontrou algum eco - um perigoso eco - em algumas forças políticas extremistas ou radicais, de pendor nacionalista e fascista. Os efeitos sociais e políticos deste súbito acréscimo populacional de 10% tiveram um impacto profundo nas estruturas institucionais do país e na consolidação da sua jovem democracia. Em O Império às Costas , João Pedro George relaciona e explora as diferentes vertentes da descolonização portuguesa, para assim demonstrar, por um lado, que a integração dos retornados foi um dos processos que mais influenciou a atual configuração da sociedade portuguesa, e, por outro, que a herança do colonialismo continua, ainda hoje, a fazer-se sentir na vida cultural, social e política do país. joao pedro george; descolonizaçao portuguesa; pos-colonialismo; historia de portugal; retornados; indemnizaçoes retornados; IARN; alcindo monteiro; racismo em portugal
