Transnational Portuguese Studies

Hilary Owen is a Professor Emerita in Portuguese and Luso-African Studies at the University of Manchester and a Research Fellow in the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese Studies at the University of Oxford. Claire Williams is an Associate Professor of Brazilian Literature and Culture at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St Peter’s College.

“Hilary Owen and Claire Williams’ volume is a superb contribution to the field of Portuguese Studies (a problematic signifier, as the editors point out in the introduction) at a time when the sometimes contentious intersections between the transnational and the global have caught the attention of scholars, students, and the reading public.”Peggy Sharpe, Florida State University
