Library of Congress catalog card number: 69-11310 FOR ANDREA PREFA CE Writing of a revolution still in progress may be like exploring the crater of an erupting volcano-one may succeed only in getting burned. Moreover, when, as in this case, the revolution involves persons and ideals that command his personal respect, an author's capacity for objectivity may be sorely tested. This book is being written despite such problems in the hope that it may contribute something to public knowledge and understanding of a little-studied but important colonial conflict soon to enter its ninth year. While it does not presume to break methodological ground, it does attempt an intelligible presentation of data that may be useful for future comparative and theoretical analyses. The absence of a free press or of conditions favoring the development of modem social science in Portugal has inhibited probing inquiry and research into conditions prevailing in its "Overseas Provinces." Foreign scholars have not been encouraged to fill the resulting knowledge gap, and consequently much of what has been written about Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique has been uninformative and propagandistic. The obstacles to serious research are imposing. All Angolan nationalist movements were illegal and clandestine from their inception. Many were infiltrated and broken up by the police and many of their leaders were jailed. Other nationalists fled into exile where the insecurities and intrigues of exile politics increasingly and understandably inclined them and their goal-frustrated movements to distrust the motives of prying scholars. Excluded from academic inquiry, of course, are what would surely be some of the richest sources of information, i.e., the files of Portugal's secret police (PIDE) as well as those of the numerous foreign intelligence services that must be presumed to maintain a considerable interest in revolutions like that of Angola. Nevertheless, when pieced together, the disparate data that are available vii viii PREFACE afford a measure of insight into the causes and course of the Angolan conflict. It has been possible to supplement mimeographed publications of nationalist movements, United Nations documents, and a wide assortment of reports, articles, and books published in Europe, Africa, and the United States-all fully cited in footnotes -with interviews and written accounts by exiled Angolan leaders and students. The author is particularly indebted to those Angolan informants for their invaluable assistance, which is also cited throughout. In order to protect persons inside Angola, however, some details and names have been omitted. The author is also responsible for translations from Portuguese and French into English, including attributed quotations. Except for instances where it appears in direct quotations, Kongo is spelled with a K wherever it refers to the historic kingdom, kingship, or portion of the kingdom now under Portuguese rule, as distinct from the Congo republic of Brazzaville and Ldopoldville. Often different words or spellings may be used for the names of persons, ethnic groups, or places in Angola. Some of the alternatives are listed, but one form has been selected for use thereafter on the premise that it seems to be the most common, modern, or simple. The names of some Angolan nationalist movements are given in French rather than Portuguese. This is true in the cases of Congo-based 6migr6 or exile organizations that most commonly use the French form themselves. Many of the materials used in the study were collected over the past decade during the course of several research trips to Africawithout any expectation that they would serve for more than occasional classroom use. These journeys began with an International Relations Fellowship from the Ford Foundation in 195859 and concluded with a Fulbright Hays Grant in 1966-67. Colgate and Lincoln Universities both made possible release time and resources that permitted the pursuit of this interest along with research in the field of African regionalism. I am grateful to the Center for International Studies, M.I.T., for sponsoring publication of this first volume and for a research grant enabling me to complete the forthcoming second volume. This assistance was made possible by a grant to M.I.T. by the Ford Foundation for teaching and research in international affairs.

  • Portuguese Language in Angola: Luso-Creoles' Missing Link? John M
    Portuguese language in Angola: luso-creoles' missing link? John M. Lipski {presented at annual meeting of the AATSP, San Diego, August 9, 1995} 0. Introduction Portuguese explorers first reached the Congo Basin in the late 15th century, beginning a linguistic and cultural presence that in some regions was to last for 500 years. In other areas of Africa, Portuguese-based creoles rapidly developed, while for several centuries pidginized Portuguese was a major lingua franca for the Atlantic slave trade, and has been implicated in the formation of many Afro- American creoles. The original Portuguese presence in southwestern Africa was confined to limited missionary activity, and to slave trading in coastal depots, but in the late 19th century, Portugal reentered the Congo-Angola region as a colonial power, committed to establishing permanent European settlements in Africa, and to Europeanizing the native African population. In the intervening centuries, Angola and the Portuguese Congo were the source of thousands of slaves sent to the Americas, whose language and culture profoundly influenced Latin American varieties of Portuguese and Spanish. Despite the key position of the Congo-Angola region for Ibero-American linguistic development, little is known of the continuing use of the Portuguese language by Africans in Congo-Angola during most of the five centuries in question. Only in recent years has some attention been directed to the Portuguese language spoken non-natively but extensively in Angola and Mozambique (Gonçalves 1983). In Angola, the urban second-language varieties of Portuguese, especially as spoken in the squatter communities of Luanda, have been referred to as Musseque Portuguese, a name derived from the KiMbundu term used to designate the shantytowns themselves.

Cuba ISSN digital: 1819-4087 Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Agrícolas http://ediciones.inca.edu.cu Original Article Agroclimatic characterization of the Uige province, Angola based on the development of Robusta Coffee Daniel Fernando Baltazar-da Silva1,2* Mariol Morejón-García1 Andrés Díaz-Pita1 Fernando Manuel de Almeida3 João Ferreira da Costa-Neta4 Vasco Gonçalves4 1Universidad de Pinar del Río, Pinar del Río, Cuba 2Ministerio de Agricultura, Angola 3Universidad de Huamb, Huambo, Angola 4Instituto Nacional do Café. Angola *Author for correspondence. [email protected] ABSTRACT During 2018, this research was carried out with the objective of conducting an agroclimatic characterization based on the development of robust coffee in the Uigé province, Angola. The records of the climatic variables rainfall and temperatures were analyzed, as they are the ones that most influence the development and growth of coffee. The historical-logical method was applied to recover the information about the crop requirements and compare them with the edaphoclimatic conditions of the province. The climatic data of the region were recorded from the observations made in each municipality compatible with the information extracted from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) site, for the period 1990-2010. Suitability maps for temperatures and rainfall were generated from the use of GIS that allowed the manipulation of thematic information layers. The results allowed us to recognize that the largest area of Uigé province (86.3 %), has climatic conditions for the development of robust coffee, with loss of fitness in the municipalities of the west end of the province, Daniel Fernando Baltazar-da Silva, Mariol Morejón-García, Andrés Díaz-Pita, Fernando Manuel de Almeida, João Ferreira da Costa-Neta y Vasco Gonçalves whose main limitation was rainfall.

  • Hybridization Between the Megasubspecies Cailliautii and Permista of the Green-Backed Woodpecker, Campethera Cailliautii
    Le Gerfaut 77: 187–204 (1987) HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN THE MEGASUBSPECIES CAILLIAUTII AND PERMISTA OF THE GREEN-BACKED WOODPECKER, CAMPETHERA CAILLIAUTII Alexandre Prigogine The two woodpeckers, Campethera cailliautii (with races nyansae, “fuel­ leborni”, loveridgei) and C. permista (with races togoensis, kaffensis) were long regarded as distinct species (Sclater, 1924; Chapin 1939). They are quite dissimi­ lar: permista has a plain green mantle and barred underparts, while cailliautii is characterized by clear spots on the upper side and black spots on the underpart. The possibility that they would be conspecific was however considered by van Someren in 1944. Later, van Someren and van Someren (1949) found that speci­ mens of C. permista collected in the Bwamba Forest tended strongly toward C. cailliautii nyansae and suggested again that permista and cailliautii may be con­ specific. Chapin (1952) formally treated permista as a subspecies of C. cailliautii, noting two intermediates from the region of Kasongo and Katombe, Zaire, and referring to a correspondence of Schouteden who confirmed the presence of other intermediates from Kasai in the collection of the MRAC (see Annex 2). Hall (1960) reported two intermediates from the Luau River and from near Vila Luso, Angola. Traylor (1963) noted intermediates from eastern Lunda. Pinto (1983) mentioned seven intermediates from Dundo, Mwaoka, Lake Carumbo and Cafunfo (Luango). Thus the contact zone between permista and nyansae extends from the region north-west of Lake Tanganyika to Angola, crossing Kasai, in Zaire. A second, shorter, contact zone may exist near the eastern border of Zaire, not far from the Equator. The map published by Short and Tarbaton (in Snow 1978) shows cailliautii from the Semliki Valley, on the Equator but I know of no speci­ mens of this woodpecker from this region.

  • Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae
    Bull. Mus. nati. Hist, nat., Paris, 4' sér., 14, 1992, section A, nos 3-4 : 655-691. Taxonomy of Tropical West African Bivalves V. Noetiidae by P. Graham OLIVER and Rudo VON COSEL Abstract. — Five species of Noetiidae are described from tropical West Africa, defined here as between 23° N and 17°S. The Noetiidae are represented by five genera, and four new taxa are introduced : Stenocista n. gen., erected for Area gambiensis Reeve; Sheldonella minutalis n. sp., Striarca lactea scoliosa n. subsp. and Striarca lactea epetrima n. subsp. Striarca lactea shows considerable variation within species. Ecological factors and geographical clines are invoked to explain some of this variation but local genetic isolation could not be excluded. The relationships of the shallow water West African noetiid species are analysed and compared to the faunas of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Panamic and Indo- Pacific regions. Stenocista is the only genus endemic to West Africa. A general discussion on the relationships of all the shallow water West African Arcoidea is presented. The level of generic endemism is low and there is clear evidence of circumtropical patterns of similarity between species. The greatest affinity is with the Indo-Pacific but this pattern is not consistent between subfamilies. Notably the Anadarinae have greatest similarity to the Panamic faunal province.
