"Migration — the clearest manifestation of the challenges of humanity"
by Daniel Martins and Felipe Moulin
Is there a common understanding for justice in the phenomenon of migration? It depends on what kind of migration and where that migration is taking place. Historically, much migration research has focused on migration from the South to the North. There has been a lot of emphasis on issues of justice but the literature in […]

The neighborhoods of Cova da Moura and Talude Clandestine or precarious construction, occupation of private lands, and rehousing in public social housing are common themes used when discussing the neighborhoods of Cova da Moura (Amadora county) and the Military Talude neighborhood (Loures county), in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Área Metropolitana de Lisboa - AML).

An enlarged conception of the periphery
Albert Ogien
| France |
Today, the notion of “periphery” seems to be used to serve essentially these zones of rural or urban habitat (precarious neighbourhoods, favelas, slums, and abandoned villages) placed in the margin of economic development and “modernisation” that we can observe in countries of the South.

Paula Flanagan
| Ireland |
As someone who grew up in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s and 1970s, with the looming and ever present spectre of Margaret Thatcher, I have been intrigued to investigate what form neoliberalism may have taken just south of the border on the island of Ireland (as opposed to Thatcherism in the UK and NI).

The arrival of Romani people to Spain has been documented since 1425, making them an integral part of the population.

Can people who live in a stigmatized periphery, starting from their own current practice, find the force to realize their emancipation? Can they transform and transcend a negative brand that weighs on their environment and on themselves, to their own benefit and also to a better image in the outside world? Not all peripheries and […]
'Life' in prison
Scott McMillan
| SCOTLAND |
After almost 14 years of custody, an account of my experiences as a prisoner may produce a broader, yet duller answer than the question 'what is it like in there?' traditionally elicits. It’s certainly an enduring question, asked to some degree by everyone from my closest family and friends to absolute strangers. Less enduring though […]

Interview with Marisa Matias
by Tatiana Moura
| Portugal |
"I have been Marisa’s friend for a long time and I know well the conviction with which she personifies the maxim of “the personal is political.” If it weren’t so, I wouldn’t be the one here. And just as Marisa knows it, so too do the millions of Portuguese men and women that have felt […]
