Ebook: Dictionary of Portuguese-African Civilization, Volume 1: From Discovery to Independence

The historical record on Portuguese Africa is rich and varied, spanning a period in excess of six centuries. This remarkable and pioneering reference work reflects the Portuguese impact on African cultures and Portugal's colonial policy in Africa, concentrating on the period from the conquest of the North African Moslem city of Ceuta in 1415 by Prince Henry of Portugal, to 1975 when Portugal's colonies became independent of European rule.
