In the last twenty years, the history of Portugal’s relationship with Africa during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has received great attention from both Portuguese and foreign scholars and has led to the publication and translation of a considerable number of important works. This scholarly work has been vast and distinct in the themes that it has focused on, which include the history of culture and science in the tropical world, the recognition of biodiversity, the knowledge and practices of traditional medicine, the experiences of European science in Africa and the Americas, the role of cocoa and chocolate in the issue of the “development of the third world,” the heated debates concerning the memories of slavery, slavery, abolitionism and forced labour, the controversy surrounding the slave trade in the Indian Ocean and in the “Muslim world,” the study of languages and the phenomena of creolization, as well as the new questions concerning African resistance to colonial rule and the processes of decolonization.
This comprehensive and seminal body of works of a scientific, literary, and philosophical nature has raised numerous questions which, in essence, encompass many of the concerns that are present in today’s Lusophone African nations. For this reason, the Organizing Committee of the workshop “New Directions of the Historiography of the PALOP,” an initiative of the Center for History of the IICT and the Program of Global Development of IICT, in collaboration with York University’s Harriet Tubman Institute (Toronto, Canada), as well as with the Center for African Studies of the University of Porto, has deemed that the time has arrived to present some of the new research that is being done in the field of social sciences with respect to Lusophone African countries.
