The Portuguese case is one of the most complex and intriguing; if Brazil has been systematically praised as the example of the humanistic and miscegenating characteristic of Portuguese expansion, it has also been used as an argument for the legitimization of later colonialism in Africa, as well as for the construction of a self-representation of Portuguese as non-racists. The Portuguese nation, however, has seldom been described as a miscigenated nation and mesti\u00e7a itself. Contemporary rhetoric on hybridity \u2013 as part of globalization, transnationality, postcolonial diasporas, and multiculturalism \u2013 clashes with the reality of the return of \u2018race\u2019 within a cultural fundamentalism. This paper focuses on discourses and modes of classification as the starting point for discussing specific practices and processes of identity dispute in the \u2018Lusophone\u2019 space.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4000\/etnografica.2858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,1]],"date-time":"2022-04-01T04:58:14Z","timestamp":1648789094000},"page":"181-200","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["\u2018Longing for oneself\u2019: hybridism and miscegenation in colonial and postcolonial Portugal"],"prefix":"10.4000","volume":"vol. 6 (1)","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9879-0677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel Vale de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro de Etnologia Ultramarina, Instituto de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o Cient\u00edfica Tropical (Portugal), Centro de Estudos de Antropologia Social (ISCTE), Departamento de Antropologia, ISCTE (Portugal)"}]}],"member":"2399","reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"ALEXANDRE, Valentim, and DIAS, Jill (eds.), 1998, O Imp\u00e9rio Africano 1825-1890, SERR\u00c3O, Joel, and A.
