Portuguese Africa CollectionThis collection focuses, primarily, on twentieth century Portuguese-speaking Africa, chiefly Angola and Mozambique, while Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé e Príncipe are also present. Some items address Portugal’s colonies in Asia as well. The materials (approx. 125 items) document Portuguese colonial rule and expansion in Africa in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, African national liberation movements and independence, as well as post-independence social and economic conditions. The collection is comprised of, in large part, pamphlets and other primary resources as well as small-press published works, monographic series, and journals. Transnational in scope, the collection includes materials from Portugal, Canada, Great Britain, and other parts of Africa.
