The Angolan diaspora in Lisbon: An introduction
This article aims to contextualise the data gathered on informal economy and networks in the Angolan diaspora in Lisbon within the context of the «Angola em Movimento» project. This data derived from a questionnaire. In the discussion of the data the author drew on twenty months of ethnographic fieldwork she has been doing on the diaspora since 2002, she looks at possible ways to interpret this new knowledge. The base consists of 200 valid questionnaires. The findings partly correspond to the author’s experience, as they demonstrate the importance of extended family and kin relations to informal economic transactions and practices.
