Autoria: Pennec, Hervé
Resumo: The context of the research journey that has led to the present book is a body of
work of mainly 16th and 17th century textual documents concerning a mission of
the Society of Jesus that began in Ethiopia in 1555 and ended in 1633, when
their last members were expelled from the country. Throughout its duration and
afterwards, up to the 18th century, the mission was the subject of an extended set
of scriptural, archival and literary documents, produced by the Jesuits
themselves and others. Sources include contemporary Iberian royal and
governmental authorities in India, writings in Ge’ez (Ethiopia’s classical
liturgical language) and works of local scholars, royal chronicles and
hagiographical sources, etc. Most of these documents are well known today and
regularly feed a rich field of research on that period of Ethiopian history.
However, despite the fact that the presence of the mission in Ethiopia has been
carefully studied, there has still been little research on the mission’s own
production of written material, based on those sources and their history. And this
too requires critical attention [...]2022-01-01T00:00:00ZÁfrica Colonial no Centenário da Guerra de 1914-1918: Angola e Moçambique, os casos em análiseAlmeida, E.

Resumo: Abstract:
The participation of African soldiers in World War I is discussed and how this contributed to the redefinition of African borders after the armistice, as well as the political awareness of Africans to the affirmation of their culture and social and political identities in the development of pragmatic lines led later to colonial dependencies.
Resumo:
Neste ensaio está a ser abordado a participação dos soldados africanos na I Guerra Mundial e como isso contribuiu para a redefinição das fronteiras africanas após o armistício, bem como, a consciencialização política dos africanos para a afirmação da sua cultura e identidades políticas e sociais no desenvolvimento das linhas pragmáticas que conduziram, mais tarde, às independências coloniais.2018-01-01T00:00:00ZPolítica externa portuguesa e África: tendências e temas contemporâneosRaimundo, A.http://hdl.handle.net/10071/197502020-01-31T03:14:03Z2019-12-01T00:00:00ZTítulo próprio: Política externa portuguesa e África: tendências e temas contemporâneos
Autoria: Raimundo, A.
Resumo: Reunindo contributos de uma equipa diversificada de investigadores, este livro identifica e analisa algumas das principais temáticas e tendências da política externa portuguesa em relação à África, no período contemporâneo. A sua preparação partiu da constatação da existência de importantes lacunas neste domínio, mau grado o grau de relevância que lhe é atribuído a nível do discurso oficial português. Após uma breve introdução que enquadra e apresenta o livro, dois capítulos iniciais cobrem aspectos mais gerais relativos tanto ao lado português como africano. Os restantes capítulos são dedicados a áreas específicas da política externa portuguesa para África: diplomacia, segurança, economia, e cultura. O volume destaca o peso do passado e seus legados contemporâneos, a grande relevância de factores internos, os esforços e meios relativamente importantes mobilizados pelas autoridades portuguesas, bem como os resultados significativos, ainda que circunscritos, alcançados nesta área da política externa portuguesa. Este estudo não deixará de interpelar os interessados por temas de política externa e relações internacionais, com referência particular a Portugal e África.2019-12-01T00:00:00ZFluid Networks and Hegemonic Powers in the Western Indian Oceanhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/137882019-03-12T16:30:04Z2017-01-01T00:00:00ZTítulo próprio: Fluid Networks and Hegemonic Powers in the Western Indian Ocean
Editor: Walker, Iain; Ramos, Manuel João; Kaarsholm, Preben
Resumo: The present volume sets forth to analyse illustrative aspects of the deep-rooted immersion of the populations of the eastern coasts of Africa in the vast network of commercial, cultural and religious interactions that extend to the Middle-East and the Indian subcontinent, as well as the long-time involvement of various exogenous military, administrative and economic powers (Ottoman, Omani, Portuguese, Dutch, British, French and, more recently, European-Americans).
The present volume is the product of one of the main activities of this CRG: organizing AEGIS international thematic conferences on African in the Indian Ocean. The second such conference
took place in Lisbon, at ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon, on April 10th April 2015, convened by the Centre of International Studies, and organized by Iain Walker (Max Plank Institute), Manuel João Ramos (CEI-IUL), and Preben Kaarsholm (Roskilde University). The chapters in this book are a selection of reviewed and revised contributions to that conference.
The chapters are presented chronologically, from the 16th century to the present day, and are contextually paired (Eastern Africa and Madagascar, the Horn, and South Africa).
This is certainly not a comprehensive and final book on the intertwining relationship between African participation in the regional trading and cultural networks of the Indian Ocean and the hegemonic presence of world powers in the area. Its purpose is rather to contribute, with a few meaningful exemplary case-studies, to assert the need for further and more inclusive investigation. It touches upon questions that have been independently addressed by different regional and inter-regional research networks (African studies, Gulf studies, Indian Ocean studies, Southwest Asian studies, etc.). The role of the Indian Ocean in global security, the increasing involvement of India and China in the economies of contemporary African states and the cultural links that bind eastern Africa to the Indian Ocean littoral are both intricate and temporally deep. The editors of this book hope that it may serve as a useful tool to bridge the different
social sciences and regional studies areas, and create a clearer awareness of the deep-rooted, and evolving, ties between Africa and the Indian Ocean.
