Mozambique and Angola – The weight of history
This article examines the political developments in Mozambique and Angola, using the analytical framework constructed by Chabal and Daloz in their book Africa Works. It shows how MPLA and FRELIMO adopted a Marxist-inspired ideology to establish a narrow political elite in power. The text follows the policies pursued by this elite through civil war and the era of the Washington Consensus and shows how it managed to circumvent the conditions which …

Michel Cahen’s Review of A Short History of Mozambique
Michel Cahen is the leading scholar of all things Mozambican and has enriched our knowledge of Mozambique’s present and past in numerous publications. It is a considerable honour that he has devoted so much attention to this Short History. His review is fair, thoughtful and based on an unrivalled knowledge of the country and its history. He is right that any author trying to summarise five hundred years of the history of any country faces severe …

A Short History of Mozambique
"This comprehensive history traces the evolution of modern Mozambique, from its early modern origins in the Indian Ocean trading system and the Portuguese maritime empire to the fifteen-year civil war that followed independence and its continued after-effects. Though peace was achieved in 1992 through international mediation, Mozambique's remarkable recovery has shown signs of stalling. Malyn Newitt explores the historical roots of Mozambican dis…
Africa and the wider world
Portuguese creoles were instrumental in bringing sub-Saharan Africa into the intercontinental systems of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. In the Atlantic Islands a distinctive creole culture emerged, made up of Christian emigrants from Portugal, Jewish exiles and African slaves. These creole polities offered a base for coastal traders and became politically influential in Africa - in Angola creating their own mainland state. Connecting the African …
Northern Mozambique in the Nineteenth Century
Henry Edward O'Neill was British Consul in Mozambique from 1879 to 1889. He completed thirteen exploratory journeys in northern Mozambique, including the first exploration of the Makua and Lomwe countries between Mozambique Island and Lake Malawi. This recreation of the book, which he never published, makes available for the first time a large body of information on the peoples of northern Mozambique (a region still little researched), on the his…
Portuguese Emigration to Africa
Portuguese have emigrated to Africa since the fifteenth century. Through intermarriage with local women a caste of black “Portuguese” emerged who played an important role as intermediaries in West African trade and who developed distinctive creole languages. Portuguese culture also influenced the ruling elite of Kongo and gave rise to the creole ethnic group which dominated Angola for centuries and which has assumed power in the post-colonial era…
The Portuguese in Brazil
This chapter traces Portuguese settlement in Brazil, which began in the early sixteenth century and grew with the expansion of the Brazilian economy. The production of sugar and tobacco was followed by the settlement of the interior after the discovery of gold at the end of the seventeenth century. The expanding frontier took Portuguese settlers to Amazonia, to the Rio de la Plata and as far as the Andes, settlements characterized by slaving, cat…
Portuguese Migration and Settlement in Asia
This chapter follows the story of the Portuguese in Asia—the soldiers, officials and missionaries who established the Estado da India in the sixteenth century. The Portuguese established fortified trading ports around the western Indian Ocean with Goa as the main seat of government. In the Far East, Macao and Nagasaki became centres of trade and missionary activity. Intermarriage with Asian women resulted in the emergence of “Portuguese” populati…
The Portuguese African Colonies during the Second World War
During the First World War, both Angola and Mozambique had become battlefields in the struggle between Germany and the Allies, and in 1940, the authorities in Portugal, Britain, and South Africa feared that history would repeat itself. Both the Allies and the Axis weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of occupying Portuguese territory or of forcing Portugal into the war on their side. German policy was to persuade Franco to enter the war as…
Points of Departure
This chapter examines the reasons for emigration from Portugal and the scale of migration over the centuries. It looks at land tenure and the rural economy; the origins of Portuguese overseas expansion and the role of the royal family and nobility; the long term structures of the Portuguese economy and society and the importance of emigrant remittances; official emigration schemes; and the exile of convicts and gipsies and the placement of orphan…

Emigration and the Sea
This is a history of the Portuguese diaspora that has planted Portuguese-speaking communities across the world, made Portuguese the seventh most widely spoken language, and given rise to a number of Portuguese creole languages. The Portuguese diaspora involves different streams of emigration that have merged to create a highly diverse “Portuguese” world. The settlement of the Atlantic islands mixed migrants from mainland Portugal with slaves from…

A History of Portuguese Overseas Expansion 1400-1668 provides an accessible survey of how the Portuguese became so influential during this period and how Portuguese settlements were founded in areas as far flung as Asia, Africa and South America. Malyn Newitt examines how the ideas and institutions of a late medieval society were deployed to aid expansion into Africa and the Atlantic islands, as well as how, through rivalry with Castile, this gre…
The Portuguese in West Africa, 1415–1670
The Portuguese in West Africa, 1415–1670 brings together a collection of documents - all in new English translation - that illustrate aspects of the encounters between the Portuguese and the peoples of North and West Africa in the period from 1400 to 1650. This period witnessed the diaspora of the Sephardic Jews, the emigration of Portuguese to West Africa and the islands, and the beginnings of the black diaspora associated with the slave trade. …

A Hundred Horizons
Transnational Networks and Internal Divisions in Central Mozambique
From 1890 to the 1930s the Portuguese colony of Mozambique developed as a number of institutionally and economically separate regions. The rule of concession companies and the economic ties that developed with neighbouring British colonies meant that internal relations between region and region were often non-existent. After 1930 colonial rule in the Beira District of Mozambique both consolidated and altered people’s relations with the state and …

Angoche, the Slave Trade and the Portuguese c . 1844–1910
The fortunes of Angoche revived with the growth of the slave trade, and during the 1840s it became the chief slaving port of the Moçambique coast. Numerous attacks were made on it by British and Portuguese expeditions, and the town was finally seized in 1861 by the Portuguese adventurer da Silva. The Muslims who fled from Portuguese occupation were led first by Mussa Quanto, and then, after his death in 1877, by Ussene and Farelay. They were able…
The Early History of the Sultanate of Angoche
The sultanate of Angoche on the Moçambique coast was founded probably towards the end of the fifteenth century by refugees from Kilwa. It became a base for Muslim traders who wanted to use the Zambezi route to the central African trading fairs and it enabled them to by-pass the Portuguese trade monopoly at Sofala. The Portuguese were not able to check this trade until they themselves set up bases on the Zambezi in the 1530s and 1540s, and from th…
The Portuguese on the Zambezi
From the sixteenth century until the coming of the Salazar regime, Portuguese control in the Zambezi basin rested on the prazos da coroa—grants of crown land . Portuguese acquisition of land and jurisdiction began with the establishment of the trading fairs in Mashonaland in the second half of the sixteenth century. Private titles first became common in the seventeenth century, when individual conquistadores , who had obtained concessions from ch…
The Southern Swahili Coast in the First Century of European Expansion
The author examines the impact of the Portuguese dominion on the Islamic settlements of the coast in the sixteenth century. He emphasizes that while the chief towns declined, as has long been recognized, there was a corresponding development of smaller scattered ports. The merchants in these ports acted chiefly as middlemen, deriving their livings largely from providing the Portuguese with the supplies they needed
Portuguese Settlement on the Zambesi
The Early History of the Maravi
This article seeks to re-examine the contemporary evidence about the early history of the Maravi chieftaincies of northern Zambesia. It challenges the view that the Maravi were long established in Zambesia and became aggressive and expansionist in the late sixteenth century when the Portuguese interfered with the ivory trade. Instead it suggests that these chieftaincies were only formed in the second half of the sixteenth and the first half of th…

Drought in Mozambique 1823-1831
The purpose of this paper is to shift the emphasis in the interpretation of the nineteenth century history of Mozambique. During the 1820s much of the region was devastated by drought and famine and the social and economic dislocation that followed brought with it important long term political changes, as well as the demise of the traditional commercial life of the region. The paper looks at some of the ways in which the local population responde…

The Massingire Rising of 1884
The Massingire acquired an identity separate from that of the other Maganja peoples under the leadership of a family of Indian origin called Vas dos Anjos. During the 1870s they became involved in a series of wars with the Makololo chiefs of the Shire, and the raids carried out by the Makololo on Portuguese territory threatened to implicate the Scottish mission in the Shire Highlands. In 1882 the Portuguese annexed Massingire after the deposition…
