Colonial Land Legacies in the Portuguese-Speaking World
Colonial Land Legacies in the Portuguese-Speaking World explores the lasting impacts of Portuguese colonial land policies. Through ethnographic, historical, and legal lenses, it highlights how these policies continue to shape contemporary land governance, Indigenous-settler relations, and socio-economic inequalities.
Colonial Land Legacies in the Portuguese-Speaking World presents a comparative exploration of the enduring impacts of Portuguese colonial land governance in Portugal and across five former Portuguese colonies: Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Flores, and Portuguese Timor. Through ethnographic, historical, and legal analyses, the book investigates how colonial land policies and interventions were not simply implemented and forgotten but have shaped contemporary land access, governance, and socio-economic structures in profound ways.
