Negocia？？es identitárias dos luso-descendentes no Canadá através do futebol português e do hóquei no gelo canadiano

this paper examines the ways descendants of portuguese immigrants in canada, raised under the shroud of their -portugal ancestry, contemplate, formulate and negotiate their identities via the two primary sporting pastimes of the two countries: soccer, in the case of portugal; ice hockey, in the case of canada. the findings presented in this article are based on empirical data collected through semis-structured interviews and casual conversations with portuguese-canadian descendants during a fieldwork period that took place from october 2nd to november 5th of 2009 in the canadian cities of toronto, ottawa-gatineau and montreal.
