The 'Civilising Mission' of Portuguese Colonialism, 1870-1930 Reviews

Miguel Bandeira Jeronimo's sophisticated and detailed study of the Portuguese 'civilising mission' in Africa is an especially welcome contribution to the field. ... This is a significant new addition to the literature on Portuguese Africa and it will be especially welcomed not only by Africanists but also labor historians as well as those focused on New Imperialism. (Timothy Coates, American Historical Review, Vol. 121 (4), October, 2016)
