The book is the first comprehensive study of race relations in Angola. It covers the entire five-century-long relationship between the peoples of Angola and Portugal. Portuguese imperial thinkers asserted that they were unique among European colonizers in their ability to establish and maintain egalitarian and non-discriminatory relationships with tropical peoples. This concept was elevated to a philosophical plateau and given the name Lusotropicalism. Propagated with fervor by Portuguese colonial thinkers, Lusotropical doctrines were widely accepted as being valid by twentieth-century diplomats and political thinkers in both Europe and the United States, many of whom believed that Portuguese colonialism in Africa would continue indefinitely. The evidence presented in this work indicates that Portuguese rule in Angola was deeply racist. This conclusion is based on a considerable body of data gleaned from archival sources, personal collections, and systematic interviewing of racially diverse Angolans and Portuguese functionaries in the colonial administration and the private sector. Special emphasis is placed on devices that the Portuguese used to delude themselves and others about the realities of their attitudes and behavior as ruling elites. The study concludes with an assessment of the impact of Lusotropical myths on independent Angola.

This history by celebrated Africanist David Birmingham begins in 1820 with the Portuguese attempt to create a third, African, empire after the virtual loss of Asia and America. In the nineteenth century the most valuable resource extracted from Angola was agricultural labor, first as privately owned slaves and later as conscript workers. The colony was managed by a few marine officers, by several hundred white political convicts, and by a couple of thousand black Angolans who had adopted Portuguese language and culture. The hub was the harbor city of Luanda which grew in the twentieth century to be a dynamic metropolis of several million people. The export of labor was gradually replaced when an agrarian revolution enabled white Portuguese immigrants to drive black Angolan laborers to produce sugar cane, cotton, maize and above all coffee. During the twentieth century Congo copper supplemented this wealth, by gem-quality diamonds, and by offshore oil. Although much of the countryside retained its dollar-a-day peasant economy, new wealth generated conflict which pitted white against black, north against south, coast against highland, American allies against Russian allies. The generation of warfare finally ended in 2002 when national reconstruction could begin on Portuguese colonial foundations.

Portugal has been a colonizing power for almost five hundred years. The nation has been a part of Africa since 1483, performing a "Christian civilizing mission" in Angola and Mozambique. In 1961, Portuguese Angola erupted into civil war, as African and Portuguese fought each other in the northern part of the province. After four centuries of solitude, ignorance, and isolation, the cry of independence and self-determination came from the colony. The Portuguese still do not understand the nature of the revolt, its background, or why the African would suddenly rise in arms against the homeland. This study attempts to survey the revolutionary movement in Angola. The first objective is to attempt to understand Portuguese colonialism. This is accomplished in Chapter I. All the concepts, tenets, justifications of Portuguese colonial policy are investigated, and an effort made to apply these to practice in Angola. The present trouble in the West African province resulted from an accumulation of grievances that had been building up within the African for four hundred years, and the added burden of enduring a Portuguese dictatorship which came to Angola in 1932 when Dr. Antonio Salazar became Prime Minister. Chapter II then investigates the New State in Angola, and considers its contribution to the rise of revolution. Subsequently, in Chapter III, the revolutionary groups themselves are outlined. Their early beginnings, their organization, their goals, are investigated. A distinction is made between the two distinct types of revolutionary nationalism in the province -- African, on the one hand, and European, on the other. Chapter IV then takes the question further, investigating the efforts of both the Portuguese and the Africans to secure support for their cause in Angola. A resume is given of the aligned participants for each side in the struggle, and a summary of the issue before the United Nations is recorded. A concluding section of the chapter surveys the possibility of nationalist success against an established European state such as Portugal. The concluding Chapter V attempts a future look at the Angolan scene. The question is posed whether Portugal will be forced to relinquish control over an area that has remained a part of its national patrimony and consciousness for so long. But no definite conclusion is reached, because none can be. The factor of time can only decide a winner in Angola.

"I still dream of Angola" is a true story, as told by Maria and her mother. Some four and a half decades ago Maria, her mother, and three brothers were shipped by the Portuguese government to Angola to settle the farmland in the Huambo plateau, the bread-basket of Angola. But in the mid-seventies, when Portugal lost its colonies and civil war broke out, the family had to flee with other settlers and tribal members out of the country. They trekked to South West Africa (Namibia). Maria, her mother, and three brothers endured incredible hardship during their time in Africa. Their father was a dandy and womanizer, terrifying the family. Maria and her mother fled by car-convoy with thousands of Portuguese to safety. Their trip took eight weeks to the southern border. Hunger, sickness, and fear was their constant companion. Nearly one million Portuguese ex-pats fled Portugal's African colonies. It was the greatest exodus the black continent ever witnessed.
