This paper examines processes of residential settlement and
incorporation of Lisbon’s Muslims arriving first in the post-colonial
period and later as international labour migrants. Issues related
with Islam in the city are under-researched and seen as
unproblematic in Portugal due to lower levels of segregation and
the contemporary narrative of Portuguese tolerance. Based on an
analysis of the spatiality of Islam in the metropolitan area and the
individual accounts of 102 Muslims, this paper explores processes
of incorporation, residential choice and belonging. The
fragmented mosaic of Muslim settlement in local communities
shows the role that religion can play alongside culture in creating
spaces of belonging producing multiple experiences of the city. In
three different localities—the inner city, an inner suburb and on
the urban margin—I investigate the ways in which the cumulative
action and agency of Muslim migrants over time transform local
spaces and emerging structures for consecutive migrants. This
paper argues that urban diversity and temporality provide a lens
through which to reconceptualise the traditional choice and
constraint debate to better understand the complexity of minority
residential patterns and their outcomes.
