Abstract(s)
This article examines the transnational political practices of the
Portuguese immigrant community in Brazil during the late
nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. In the
light of fresh empirical evidence, it aims to prove the true impact
of the political engagement of those Portuguese living abroad
during the course of late nineteenth-century political changes in
Portugal. It focuses particularly on the struggle between
Portuguese monarchist and republican parties to captivate the
political sympathy of the emigrants and, later on, on the
transatlantic monarchical counter-revolutionary network created
after the republican revolution in 1910. It argues that this sort of
migrant political activity can be analyzed beyond the framework
of the diffusion of domestic politics and acknowledged as a truly
transnational phenomenon. Therefore, it seeks to demonstrate
how the transnational nature of these Portuguese migrants’ action
was decisive to their success on seriously compromising the first
republican experience in Portugal.
