- Reposted by João Fusco RibeiroL’année 2025 a marqué le cinquantième anniversaire de l’indépendance de l’ #Angola et du #Mozambique vis-à-vis du #Portugal. L’histoire de leurs guerres respectives de libération nationale reste peu connue du grand public, tout comme le rôle important qu’y a joué l’ #Algérie.

- Pela forma efusiva com que se vê certa direita “nacionalista” portuguesa a celebrar a intervenção na Venezuela, se depois da Gronelândia o Trump apontar a mira para os Açores, vão com certeza masturbar-se furiosamente de satisfação.

Esta é a questão que procurei responder no artigo publicado no número especial da Afro-Ásia dedicado à História de Angola e que reúne outras contribuições de grande interesse. periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/af...
- Great to see on paper mine and Helder's chapter on the Angolan Decolonization process, specially as we draw close to the country's 50 years aniversary.

- The article on Polish–Angolan relations is out in the Journal of Cold War History. It explores an asymmetrical relationship shaped by anti-imperialist solidarity and economic pragmatism, but also marked by tensions, disappointments, and corruption. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- Proofreading time! This one was such a fun article to write on Polish–Angolan relations during the Cold War :)
- A story of an asymmetrical relationship, marked by anti-imperialist solidarity, mutual and pragmatic economic interests, but also by tensions, disillusionments, and even by bribery and corruption.

- Começa a desaparecer a velha guarda. Morreu o historiador José Manuel Silveira Lopes. Deixou-nos estes dois contributos fundamentais para o estudo do nacionalismo anticolonial Angolano.
- Trabalhou lado a lado com mestres como o Jorge Borges de Macedo, A. H. Oliveira Marques e Vitorino Magalhães Godinho. A sua escrita impunha respeito pelo rigor e pela originalidade. Foi um historiador versátil que percorreu tanto a história medieval Portuguesa e a história contemporânea de Angola.
- Uma lembrança para os "nacionalistas" esquecidos do nosso passado migratório que ainda tem muito de presente.
- Champigny a accueilli jusqu’en 1972 un bidonville où se sont entassés 15 000 Portugais. Mais la mémoire de cette expérience chez les immigrés reste tiraillée entre le narratif d’une communauté modèle qui se serait intégrée et la blessure des humiliations racistes. 👇🏼 www.mediapart.fr/journal/cult...

- Just received the cover of the latest edited volume by Helder Fonseca, Lena Dallywater, and Chris Saunders. It was a privilege to co-author a chapter on Communist agency in Angola’s complex (and violent) transition to independence. The book will be available by the end of the year.
