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.

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.

The Portuguese authorities balanced missionary and political dynamics as they sought to strengthen their claims over African territories in an imperial and colonial world that was becoming increasingly internationalized. This book sets out to investigate how missionary authorities reacted to national challenges from the monarchical and republican regimes, and rising competition within the Catholic world, as well as the Protestant threat, at the international level. To what degree were religious and missionary projects a political instrument? Was this situation similar in other colonial empires? The 1890 British Ultimatum was part of a process of conflicting religious competition in Africa (among Catholics, and between Catholics and Protestants) in parallel with inter-imperial disputes. The Portuguese authorities saw missionary presence as a potentially useful political weapon, but it cut two ways: in favour of or against its colonial rule. Foreigner missionaries in what was considered the Portuguese empire were viewed as threats since they could act as political bridgeheads for other imperial powers or could influence the native populations against Portuguese colonial presence. Anglo-Portuguese competition in Africa, the native uprisings against Portuguese rule, the attempts to negotiate a concordat with the Holy See, the Portuguese First Republic, and the aftermath of the First World War had powerful effects on the direction of Portuguese statehood, and were reflected in substantive internal debate and political disagreement. The overview of missionary experience in the Portuguese empire provided in this book is a major contribution to the international historiography of missions and empires.

Did the expansion of colonial empires in Africa drain the resources of the metropole or did they produce new pockets of wealth? Whether colonialism brought costs or benefits to metropolitan governments and industry occupied the minds of European policy-makers and manufacturers in the nineteenth century and has fuelled debates among scholars of colonialism during most of the twentieth. Portugal's empire in Africa was no exception. Although it furnished protected markets and guaranteed supplies for trade and industry, the empire also exacted its price. For the Portuguese, as for many other colonial powers, no undertaking exposed the benefits and burdens as starkly as the creation of the cotton regime. Anne Pitcher looks in detail at metropolitan and colonial policy under the Salazar and Caetano governments and critically assesses the influence of empire on the development of the textile industry in metropolitan Portugal. She challenges myths about the corporate nature of the Portuguese regime after 1926, exposes the pitfalls of authoritarian economic solutions, and concludes that links with empire were not necessarily beneficial; instead, conflicting interests and contradictory policies had unintentional, even debilitating, effects on many participants in the system - from African cotton producers to metropolitan textile manufacturers. This book examines the complex relationship which existed for nearly half a century between the Portuguese authoritarian regime, the domestic textile industry, and the empire in Africa and finds that, contrary to the common assumption, state policies did not always favour Portugal's major industry. It will be of interest not only to scholars working on thepolitical economy of Portugal and Portuguese-speaking Africa, but also to comparativists studying the costs and benefits of empire or investigating different models of development.
