title: [Homesickness, immigration, and the construction of a Portuguese foreign community].
abstract: "Based on ethnohistorical research (1910-1990) conducted in New Bedford, an industrial town of New England, U.S.A., this paper is directed at unveiling an apparent paradox:  on the one hand, the analysis of domestic structures indicated that there has been since the late 1970's both an intensification of old and the emergence of new forms of transnationalism among [New Bedford's] Portuguese families; and, on the other hand, the observation of grass-roots 'community events' sugggested a simultaneous and progressive increase of ethnic insularity."
