‘The Portuguese Immigrant in Cura\u00e7ao’ is a book by Charles do Rego that explores the immigration, participation, and integration of Portuguese immigrants in Cura\u00e7ao during the 20th century. It primarily focuses on the period from the 1920s to the 1950s, when thousands of Portuguese, mainly from Madeira, migrated to Cura\u00e7ao to work in the emerging oil industry and agricultural sector.<\/p>\n
A small group settled permanently and, from the 1960s onward, developed into a strong entrepreneurial community, particularly in the supermarket sector and other market segments. The book highlights how these immigrants integrated and became an integral part of Cura\u00e7aoan society.<\/p>\n
