Settlement Crossroads

The aim of this book is to understand the background
and migration experience of Portuguese migrants in
Sydney, Australia and those who have returned to
Portugal. Based on the assumption that
psychological acculturation is a major factor
influencing the settlement experience of migrants,
this book explains migration and return migration
decision-making from the perspective of the
individual. The book identifies the settlement needs
and concerns of Portuguese migrants in the areas of
immigration and settlement. It also identifies major
factors influencing settlement and return
migration. In doing so, it explores an area not
previously developed, researched or analysed in
Australia.
