Rethinking ‘Late Colonialisms’ in Africa: An Introduction
‘Late colonialism’ is a widely used concept in African, colonial, and imperial history and neighbouring fields. It evokes a particular chronological moment, but also suggests distinctive, novel processes of colonial governance. The concept has been used to interrogate and explain different trajectories of late colonial governance and decolonisation, addressing distinct chronologies and specific, but comparable, historical dynamics associated with…

Auto-determinação, cidadania e organizações internacionais: Reinventando as políticas do império português, 1955-1962
Em 1961 e 1962, a administração imperial portuguesa encetou uma série de reformas políticas, administrativas e sociais, pondo fim ao regime de indigenato. Este artigo demonstra que, tanto no tempo como no conteúdo, essas dinâmicas de mudança política e legal se relacionaram estreitamente com actores, acontecimentos e processos situados além das fronteiras do império, em articulação com lógicas locais, nos planos nacional e colonial. Só a partir d…
The Labours Of (In)Security In Portuguese Late Colonialism
This chapter addresses studies of the historical entanglements between securitarian and developmental languages and repertoires of action during late colonial insurgencies and counter-insurgencies. Health, education, and social policies broadly defined were constitutive elements of imperial strategies designed either to strengthen the allegiance of local populations or to minimize sources of unrest and anti-colonial mobilization. Focusing on the …
The entangled histories and historiographies of humanitarianism, human rights, and development: Interview with Andrew Thompson
"Welfare" Policies in the Portuguese Empire in Africa (1960s)
Following World War II (1939-1945), in different ways and to different extents, European imperial and colonial endeavors manifested dynamics of institutional, administrative, and ideological innovation, aimed at addressing the multiple obstacles to their legitimacy and continuity. Critical scrutiny of their modi operandi intensified, involving a growing number of individuals, groups, and networks, each operating in different contexts, with varyin…
As políticas do "bem-estar" no império português em África (Anos 1960)
Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial (1939-1945), com modos e alcances diversos, os projectos imperiais e coloniais europeus revelaram dinâmicas de inovação institucional, administrativa e ideológica, visando responder aos múltiplos obstáculos que se colocavam à sua legitimidade e continuidade. O escrutínio crítico dos seus modi operandi intensificou-se, envolvendo um número crescente de indivíduos, grupos e redes operando em contextos diversos, com mot…
Heritage(s) of Portuguese Influence: History, Processes, and Aftereffects
Portugal was a late decolonizer (1975). The "winds of change" had a delayed impact on Portuguese colonial territories. The authoritarian nature of empire and resilient forms of imperial nationalism fostered imperial permanence, and the transformative energies of global decolonization were mostly refused. Since the 1950s, a modernizing momentum occurred, transforming urban and rural colonial landscapes and multiplying infrastructures, from railway…
Imperialism, internationalism, and education in Africa: Connected histories
This text introduces the themed issue “Imperialism, Internationalism and Education in Africa: Connected Histories”. It provides an overview of the history of education in twentieth-century Africa, highlighting its major problems, themes, and actors. Arguing for a transnational and connected approach to this field of research, it also explains how the four papers included in the issue allow to address the multiple entanglements between educational…
Developing Civilisation? Imperial Internationalism at the League of Nations (1920s-1930s)
Après la Première Guerre mondiale, le processus d’internationalisation des affaires coloniales s’intensifie et entraîne le renouvellement de l’imaginaire politique impérial et une volonté de transformer les discours et les pratiques de la domination coloniale. La Société des Nations, ses institutions spécialisées ainsi que leurs nombreuses commissions s’engagent dans l’élaboration et l’institutionnalisation de concepts, de doctrines, de normes et…
Enlightened Developments? Inter-imperial Organizations and the Issue of Colonial Education in Africa (1945–1957)
After the Second World War, development and welfare abounded in the political imagination of European colonial empires. Efforts to rejuvenate their colonial projects entailed the redefinition of “native policies” on health, labor, and education. In relation to these, imperial states and colonial administrations sought varying levels of cooperation, recuperating some initiatives from past decades. This chapter studies how one of the institutional …
Imperial Internationalisms’ in the 1920s: The Shaping of Colonial Affairs at the League of Nations
The evolving internationalisation of imperial and colonial affairs fostered the emergence of specific, and interrelated, arguments, institutional arrangements and repertoires of political action regarding colonial societies. The actors and the institutions aiming to shape colonial dynamics in a number of fields of intervention, with different agendas and expertise, multiplied, and the topics under debated expanded. Expressions of imperial interna…
International Organizations in Colonial Africa
European imperial expansion and consolidation in Africa was, from its inception, a trans-imperial process that was increasingly codified, regulated, and legitimized in an international sphere. Similarly, initiatives that aimed to counter Western dominance and hegemony across the 20th century looked for international institutions as privileged instances for claim-making and enhanced resistance against imperial and colonial projects. All these dyna…
A Robust Operation: Resettling, Security, and Development in Late Colonial Angola (1960s–1970s)
The forced removal and resettlement of population was a main feature of late European colonialism, in Africa and elsewhere. Both were crucial to the formulation and enactment of securitarian projects and developmental schemes, and to their recurrent intersection and close interdependence. The repertoires of repressive developmentalism —the shaping of development strategies by securitarian concerns and the contamination of schemes of security by s…
Imperialism, Internationalism and Globalisation in Twentieth Century Africa
This special issue of the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History explores several historical entanglements between distinct expressions of imperialism and colonialism, and diverse trajectorie
Education and Development in Colonial and Postcolonial Africa: Policies, Paradigms, and Entanglements, 1890s–1980s
This open access edited collection explores the important role of education in the history of twentieth century development policies in colonial and postcolonial Africa. It contributes to the ongoing debate on global and transnational approaches to the history of education
Resistance and Colonialism: Insurgent Peoples in World History
Colonial Labour Internationalized: Portugal and the Decolonization Momentum (1945–1975)
The history of the convoluted devolution of power in late colonialism can only be fully apprehended if its international and transnational dimensions are brought into the picture. Diverse modalities of internationalism shaped the disparate trajectories of colonialism and decolonization in multiple societal domains, in diverse ways. We depart from the labour question in the Portuguese late colonial empire to highlight three main inter-related aspe…
Internationalism, Imperialism and the Formation of the Contemporary World: The Pasts of the Present
Repressive Developmentalism: Idioms, Repertoires, and Trajectories in Late Colonialism
The politics of planning development and the planning of politics were intertwined facets of late colonialism. This chapter shows that planning socio-economic development was a paramount political act, and that it was a form of imagining and enacting imperial permanence, both formal and informal. Idioms, repertoires, and techniques of developmentalism—and its close cousin, welfarism—became integral to the plural trajectories that constituted the …
A League of Empires: Imperial Political Imagination and Interwar Internationalisms
Portuguese Colonialism in Africa
The Portuguese colonial empire was the first and the last European empire overseas, from the conquest of Ceuta (1415), in Morocco, North Africa, until the formal handover of Macau to the People’s Republic of China (1999). From the coastline excursions in Africa and the gradual establishment of trade routes in Asia and in the Indian Ocean and the related emergence of the Estado da Índia (the Portuguese empire east of the Cape of Good Hope), to the…
Rural (In)Securities: Resettlement, Control and “Development” in Angola (1960s–1970s)
Nach dem Ausbruch organisierter anti-kolonialer Gewalt während der frühen sechziger Jahre suchten portugiesische imperiale und koloniale Akteure nach politisch-militärischen Strategien, die Sicherheit, rudimentäre Sozialfürsorge und Entwicklung kombinierten. Diese speziische Kombination war ein Wesensmerkmal des Spätkolonialismus. Neben Strategien zur Bevölkerungskontrolle, „psychologischen Aktivitäten“ oder einer Sozialgesetzgebung entwickelte s…
Ordering Resistance: The Late Colonial State in the Portuguese Empire (1940–1975)
This chapter provides an assessment of how the late Portuguese colonial state (especially in Angola and Mozambique) responded to widespread conflict and anticolonial pressures. Focusing on its structures, idioms, and strategies of social transformation and control-especially as they relate to the domains of development and security-my assessment of state response emphasizes the coming together of: coercive repertoires of rule; planned development…
Mustafah Dhada. The Portuguese Massacre of Wiriyamu in Colonial Mozambique, 1964–2013
The result of a decade of scrupulous and original research, Mustafah Dhada’s The Portuguese Massacre of Wiriyamu in Colonial Mozambique, 1964–2013 is a precious contribution to the history of Portuguese late colonialism, namely to the understanding of its convoluted and violent dynamics in Mozambique. The massacre on December 16, 1972, of approximately four hundred people in five villages in the Wiriyamu triangle (Tete province) is meticulously r…

Neste artigo, procura-se, por um lado, realçar a relevância de um conjunto de estudos na reformulação da história das sociedades a…
The 'Civilising Mission' of Portuguese Colonialism, 1870-1930
This book provides a critical analysis of the doctrine of 'civilising mission' in Portuguese colonialism from 1870 to 1930. Exploring international contexts & transnational connections, this 'civilising mission' is analysed & assessed by examining the employment & distribution of African manpower.
'Civilising Mission' of Portuguese Colonialism, 1870-1930
The ‘Civilisation Guild’ and the ‘Engineers of Depression’: The Case of S. Thomé Cocoa
A justificatory memorandum from 1906 about the model of native labour employed in the Portuguese colonies — which was designed to respond to the ‘propaganda, lately renewed with insistence’ that was being levelled at the working conditions, particularly in S. Thomé and Príncipe — emphasised the enduring attention the Portuguese authorities devoted to their colonial possessions. The ‘principles of the humanitarian and civilising tutelage’ that gov…
Conclusion
As we stated at the beginning of this book, the true ‘mission’ of Portugal’s civilising imperial programmes was to create the appropriate conditions to prepare and induce, forcefully if necessary, the natives to work in the creation of new Brazils in Africa. The widespread formulation of political, moral, legal, economic and sociocultural doctrines that proclaimed the irreplaceable civilisational value of labour demonstrates why this fact constit…
Bibles, Flags and Transnational Loyalties: Educating Empires
As we saw in Part I of this study, reflections on possible models of native labour organisation, woven into the comparison of different colonising experiences and in the circulation of printed material throughout the colonies (colonisation manuals, proceedings of colonial conferences, comparative colonial law annuals, official publications from the Institut Colonial International [ICI] 1 ), always dominated the formulation of Portuguese coloniali…
Between Benevolence and Inevitability: The ‘Civilising Mission’ of Portuguese Colonialism
During the anti-slavery conference that took place in Brussels between 18 November 1889 and 2 July 1890, the Portuguese representatives (Henrique Macedo, Portuguese ambassador in Brussels and former minister of the navy and overseas; Augusto Castilho, a naval officer who had been governor of Mozambique; Brito Capelo, an explorer and officer in the Portuguese Navy; and Batalha Reis, consul in Newcastle) were ‘armed with memoirs, documents and geog…
Ends of European Colonial Empires: Cases and Comparisons
A Modernizing Empire? Politics, Culture, and Economy in Portuguese Late Colonialism
The politics and policies of late colonialism in the Portuguese empire were characterized by a repressive developmentalism, a particular combination of enhanced coercive (symbolic and material) repertoires of rule, programmed developmental strategies of political, economic and socio-cultural change, and processes of engineering of socio-cultural differentiation. At its core, as Frederick Cooper noted, was a ‘repressive version of the developmenta…

Imperial Globalizations
This chapter highlights and problematizes the historical intersections and co-constitution between imperial (specifically colonial) processes and multiple globalizations—that is, the multiple temporalities, trajectories and patterns of global interdependence and exchange of ideas, ideologies, capital, goods and people, and the plural forms of political, economic and socio-cultural globalization. It comprises three distinct sections: the first foc…
