Education and Development in Colonial and Postcolonial Africa

By: Hugo Gonçalves Dores,Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo,Damiano Matasci

This open access edited volume offers an analysis of the entangled histories of education and development in twentieth-century Africa. It deals with the plurality of actors that competed and collaborated to formulate educational and developmental paradigms and projects: debating their utility and purpose, pondering their necessity and risk, and evaluating their intended and unintended consequences in colonial and postcolonial moments. Since the late nineteenth century, the "educability" of the native was the subject of several debates and experiments: numerous voices, arguments, and agendas emerged, involving multiple institutions and experts, governmental and non-governmental, religious and laic, operating from the corridors of international organizations to the towns and rural villages of Africa. This plurality of expressions of political, social, cultural, and economic imagination of education and development is at the core of this collective work.

Politics and Religion in the Portuguese Colonial Empire in Africa (1890-1930)

By: Hugo Goncalves Dores

The Portuguese authorities balanced missionary and political dynamics as they sought to strengthen their claims over African territories in an imperial and colonial world that was becoming increasingly internationalized. This book sets out to investigate how missionary authorities reacted to national challenges from the monarchical and republican regimes, and rising competition within the Catholic world, as well as the Protestant threat, at the international level. To what degree were religious and missionary projects a political instrument? Was this situation similar in other colonial empires? The 1890 British Ultimatum was part of a process of conflicting religious competition in Africa (among Catholics, and between Catholics and Protestants) in parallel with inter-imperial disputes. The Portuguese authorities saw missionary presence as a potentially useful political weapon, but it cut two ways: in favour of or against its colonial rule. Foreigner missionaries in what was considered the Portuguese empire were viewed as threats since they could act as political bridgeheads for other imperial powers or could influence the native populations against Portuguese colonial presence. Anglo-Portuguese competition in Africa, the native uprisings against Portuguese rule, the attempts to negotiate a concordat with the Holy See, the Portuguese First Republic, and the aftermath of the First World War had powerful effects on the direction of Portuguese statehood, and were reflected in substantive internal debate and political disagreement. The overview of missionary experience in the Portuguese empire provided in this book is a major contribution to the international historiography of missions and empires.

Revolução

By: Hugo Gonçalves

Do autor do celebrado Deus Pátria Família, um romance arrojado sobre o período mais revolucionário da história portuguesa contemporânea. «Esquerda, direita, revoluções, ditaduras? Tudo passa. As ideologias são como os cortes de cabelo, mudam consoante as modas. Mas há uma coisa que permanece. O caráter. Só o carácter te previne de ser um pulha ou um oportunista em nome de uma ideia.» Um disparo perfura a noite na serra de Sintra, durante um jantar da família Storm, e a matriarca sabe que perdeu um dos três filhos. O epicentro do colapso tem origem muitos anos antes, entre o fim da ditadura e os primeiros tempos da revolução. Maria Luísa, a filha mais velha, opositora clandestina do regime, é perseguida pela PIDE. Frederico, o filho mais novo, está obcecado em perder a virgindade antes de ser mobilizado para a guerra colonial. E Pureza, a filha do meio, vê os seus sonhos de uma perfeita família tradicional despedaçados pelo processo revolucionário em curso. Revolução acompanha a família Storm, do desmoronar do império ao despertar da democracia, ao longo dos rocambolescos, violentos e excessivos meses do PREC, quando a esperança e o medo dividem os portugueses, separando filhos e pais, colocando irmãos em lados opostos da barricada. Um romance, a tempos trágico, a tempos cómico, sobre a liberdade e as relações familiares, sobre as escolhas que nos definem e as omissões que nos revelam. Nestas páginas, Hugo Gonçalves — autor nomeado para os prémios Oceanos, Fernando Namora e P.E.N. Clube — cruza os destinos de uma família com a cronologia desenfreada de um país à beira da guerra civil, pintando um fresco magistral de uma época irrepetível da nossa História. Sobre Deus Pátria Família: « Deus Pátria Família agarra o leitor pelos colarinhos, logo a abrir, e nunca mais o abandona. [...] Podemos lê-lo como um policial, uma reconstituição histórica, um questionamento religioso, um estudo de personagens, um enredo com pontas bem atadas. Mas talvez seja, acima de tudo,um desafio ao leitor: o de se rever hoje no que o passado já experienciou. Ler para não radicalizar.» Luís Ricardo Duarte, Visão «A escrita ágil, precisa, exuberante de Hugo Gonçalves recupera, na perfeição, o ambiente de medo, desconfiança e perigo da cidade durante a Guerra. As suas esquinas escuras, os esconderijos claustrofóbicos, o calor sufocante, o inflamar dos ânimos nesse tórrido Verão de 1940 são invocados com mestria. [...] Hugo Gonçalves consegue a proeza de conjurar, com a sua escrita, um Portugal "amordaçado".» Helena Vasconcelos, Público «O uso de personagens muito bem delineados, a par de uma reconstituição de época bastante credível, com uma cadência narrativa bem montada, deixa o leitornavegar por um engano consciente e permite entender o que poderia resultar da célebre premissa "e se?".» Diário de Notícias
