Resumo(s)
International migration reconfigures rural places by engaging localities with
globalising forces. Accommodating newcomers, be they farming labourers or lifestyle
migrants is a challenge at the local level due to the clash of interests, different visions
on how the land should be managed and development promoted. Using Odemira as a
case study, the paper has two goals: to show the change brought about by foreign
investments in agribusiness, international labourers and lifestyle migrants to a rural
place; and to highlight the strategies devised by local actors in the accommodation of
new demands of language and housing. Language classes for adults and housing
provisions are far from satisfying the needs. Schools display more flexibility to
accommodate migrant children, whereas the agribusiness firms are increasing its
lobbying capacity for their interest by pushing forward the approval of an exceptional
regime that authorises the installation of workers in precarious accommodation
located on the farms.
