Migrant activism: daily life and struggle in the ‘bairro’

Cova da Moura was born in fragile circumstances and is again threatened by cultural conflicts imbued with racism, discrimination, and the pressure of powerful interests willing to destroy a community in the name of a ‘regeneration’ that would only benefit property developers. Resistance aims to set up a Community Land Trust and to build on the Intangible Cultural Heritage that their annual festival has gained.
