Portugal in Africa

About this book

A landmark study in colonial history, Portugal in Africa explores the pivotal role of Portugal's empire on the African continent. James Duffy offers a sweeping, incisive analysis of the political, economic, and cultural legacy of Portuguese colonialism from the 15th century to the 20th, focusing particularly on Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. With meticulous research and an unflinching eye, Duffy examines how Portugal's colonial strategies evolved under the Estado Novo regime and how these policies shaped both African societies and Portuguese national identity. This book delves into slavery, missionary influence, and resistance movements, all while placing Portugal's imperial experience in comparative context with other European powers. Duffy's study not only chronicles the colonial machinery but also centers the voices of the colonized, making it an essential work for those interested in postcolonial studies, African nationalism, and European imperial dynamics. Written in lucid, accessible prose, Portugal in Africa remains a foundational work for understanding the enduring consequences of empire.
