Resumo(s)
The arrival in Portugal of recent migrants from the Indian
subcontinent is normally a secondary movement from within
Europe tied to the search for a regular pathway into legal
integration in the EU. However, as favourable migration policy is
not paired with easy economic integration onward migration is
common. We argue that such complex migration strategies
cannot be amply explored through an origin–destination model;
instead we suggest that a translocal perspective provides a
framework to examine connections and experiences of
emplacement in places of passage/reception like Lisbon. Through
a qualitative study of the migration journeys and emplaced
practices of Punjabi migrants in Lisbon, our findings highlight
relationality between multiple scales, elucidating how agency and
structure interact at micro and macro levels in shaping migration
experiences and outcomes. We show how the materiality of local
community structures ensures the navigation of daily life in the
city and provides pathways toward legality contributing to wider
mobility regimes. Moreover, we illustrate how onward migration
represents an individual strategy to realise different aspects of
integration in other EU destinations challenging nation-statebound
understandings of citizenship/settlement and integration.
