Summary

The conclusion synthesizes the book's main findings and argues that a complex and truthful history of Portugal's returnees potentially matters to many of us today – not so much because they will be widely remembered and studied for a long time, but because they can help us comprehend something about the recent past that is fundamental for our present-day societies in Europe – and possibly even for our global future.
