Abstract:
If migratory processes inform and construct global imaginaries, discussions of the
societal impact of Galician mobility remain as pertinent as ever. The Galician
community has been characterized by the intranational and transnational
movement of a significant portion of its people since the nineteenth century, a
key period in the revitalization of Galician language and culture contemporaneous
with the Western consolidation of national identities and nation states. The
historic role of Galician diasporas in shaping cultural consciousness has been well
documented but constantly demands reappraisal in the so-called age of
globalization, as heterogeneous waves of migrants continue to leave in search of
opportunities elsewhere. Whilst scholarship on the lasting impact of emigration
during the late 1800s and early 1900s abounds, more recent migratory processes
during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in particular demand further
scrutiny.
