"... useful, timely, and important... a good and informative book on the Lusophone countries, Portuguese colonialism, and postcolonial influences." âPhyllis Martin, Indiana University"This book, produced by the obviousâand distinguishedâcorps of country specialists... fills a real gap in both state-level and 'regional' (broadly defined) studies of contemporary Africa." âNorrie MacQueen, University of DundeeAlthough the five Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa that gained independence in 1974/75âAngola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and São Tomé e PrÃncipeâdiffer from each other in many ways, they share a history of Portuguese rule going back to the 15th century, which has left a mark to this day. Patrick Chabal and his co-authors assess the nature of the Portuguese legacy, using a twofold approach. In Part I, three analytical, thematic chapters by Chabal examine what the five countries have in common and how they differ from the rest of Africa. In Part II, individual chapters by leading specialists, each devoted to a specific country, survey the histories of those countries since independence. The book places the postcolonial experience of the Lusophone countries within the context of their precolonial and colonial past and compares and contrasts their experience with that of non-Lusophone African states. The result is a comprehensive, readable, and up-to-date text and reference work on the evolution of postcolonial Portuguese-speaking Africa. (view table of contents)

How are the prospects for reform and renewal in African societies affected by the emerging elites? Is "modernisation" in Africa different? Are there within African countries social, political and cultural factors which aspire to the continuation of patrimony and conspire against economic development?Relations of power between rulers and the ruled continue to inform the role of the state and the expectations of the newly emphasized civil society...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
