    A integridade feminina e a (re)construção de uma nação: O caso da Guiné-Bissau1 Brandon D. Lundy2, Raul Mendes Fernandes3 & Kezia Darkwah4 Resumo Este artigo reconhece e celebra o papel das mulheres na (re)construção da nação na Guiné-Bissau. A perspetiva de género e o enquadramento histórico e multiescalar demons- tram que as mulheres desempenharam um papel constituinte na edificação da nação ao longo do tempo e do espaço. Como é que as mulheres guineenses têm operacionalizado a sua agência na Guiné-Bissau? Quais são as suas novas formas de agência? A análise da construção da nação revela os papéis fundacionais das mulheres, os seus aspetos únicos de investi- mento económico inovador que tiveram lugar antes, durante e após o período colonial, e os esforços políticos contem- porâneos das mulheres para a construção de um país bem-su- cedido e inclusivo. Se o género possibilitou oportunidades únicas para a promoção da nacionalidade, as restrições socio- políticas impostas às mulheres atualmente devem ser avalia- das. Teorias dos feminismos africanos e a interseccionalidade ajudam a explicar este fenómeno. Qualquer análise acerca da (re)construção e manutenção de uma comunidade que não inclua a integralidade das mulheres não será suficiente.

  • 1 Guinea-Bissau Country Profile
    1 Guinea-Bissau Country Profile Generic Information Generic Information Located in West Africa, Guinea-Bissau is bordered by Senegal to the north, by Guinea to the east and south, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It covers 36,125 square kilometres (13,948 sq mi), with an estimated population of 1,759,159 inhabitants (July 2016 est.); of which: 51.6% are women and 50.2% are young people varying in age from 15 to 35 years (General Population and Housing Census, 2009). Upon independence, declared in 1973 and recognised in 1974, the name of its capital, Bissau, was added to the country's name to prevent confusion with Guinea (formerly French Guinea, also referred to as Guinea-Conakry). Guinea-Bissau has a history of political instability. Since independence no elected president has successfully served a full five-year term. The country is governed by the Constitution of 1996 which advocates the institution of liberal democracy. Guinea-Bissau is endowed with significant forest, soil, mineral, water, animal, and fishing resources. The national territory is divided into 8 administrative regions populated by a diversity of ethno linguistic groups. Bissau, the capital, is an Autonomous Sector. The regions are: Page 1 Bafatá Biombo Bissau – Autonomous sector Bolama Cacheu Gabu Oio Quinara Tombali The Bissagos Islands, also spelled Bijagó, are a group of about 88 islands and islets located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the African nation of Guinea-Bissau.

  • The Portuguese Empire
    This page intentionally left blank A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire The Kingdom of Portugal was created as a by-product of the Christian Reconquest of Hispania. With no geographical raison d’eˆtre and no obvious roots in its Roman, Germanic, or Islamic pasts, it long remained a small, struggling realm on Europe’s outer fringe. Then, in the early fifteenth century, this unlikely springboard for Western expansion suddenly began to accumu- late an empire of its own – eventually extending more than halfway around the globe. A History of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire, drawing particularly on historical scholarship postdating the 1974 Portuguese Revo- lution, offers readers a comprehensive overview and reinterpretation of how all this happened – the first such account to appear in English for more than a generation. Volume I concerns the history of Portugal itself from pre-Roman times to the climactic French invasion of 1807, and Volume II traces the history of the Portuguese overseas empire. A. R. Disney was educated at Oxford and Harvard universities and has taught history at Melbourne and La Trobe universities. His publications include Twilight of the Pepper Empire (1978) and numerous articles, papers, and essays, published variously in the Economic History Review, Studia, Indica, Mare Liberum, Anais de Historia de Alem-mar, and other journals and proceedings. ‘‘This book provides a comprehensive and stimulating view of the history of the early modern Portuguese Empire. Without losing sight of chronology and geography, political projects, and economic trends, Disney skillfully elab- orates on key issues of the social history of overseas Portugal, such as the nature of colonial societies or the relevance of informal settlements.
