O Colonialismo Português

The history of Portuguese colonialism in Africa during the 19th and 20th centuries has undergone significant development in recent years. New lines of research have been developed, and a considerable body of documents and works has been published. In this new context, the most recent debates have revolved around topics as diverse as slavery and forced labor, African resistance to colonial rule, biodiversity and sustainable resource management, traditional knowledge and practices, and the experience of European science in Africa. The texts gathered here bear witness to some of the new perspectives and, at the same time, a more global and cross-cutting approach to the different topics covered.
