Globalizing Independence Struggles of Lusophone AfricaAnticolonial and Postcolonial Politics\nAuthor(s): Rui Lopes, Natalia Telepneva\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, United Kingdom\nImprint: Zed Books Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781350378308, 978-1350378308\nSynopsis\nLusophone Africa has been neglected in Anglophone historiography. With the exceptions of a narrow set of episodes, figures, and interpretations, all of which appear in a fragmented set of journal articles, its struggles against Portuguese colonialism have remained outside the grand narratives of decolonisation.\n\nIn this open access book, a group of established and up-and-coming historians of Lusophone Africa bring much-needed coherence to this interconnected set of anti-colonial struggles in order to show how people and ideas from these countries crossed borders around the globe. Its international team of contributors draws on a an underutilized range of source material beyond the usual Western state archi.
