Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This revealing book delves into a historical debate over the borders of British and Portuguese territories in Africa during the late 19th century. It presents extracts from colonial records and official communications, including a compelling excerpt from the British newspaper The Times, which details the British government's proposed terms for negotiation with Portugal. These terms are seen as highly unfavorable to Portugal, potentially depriving it of vast territories that had long been under its control. The author analyzes the historical and geographical context of the dispute, relying on the writings of explorers, geographers, and colonial officials from both sides. They highlight the Portuguese presence in the Zambezi region since the 16th century, with forts, trading posts, and religious missions established along the river's course, including the key town of Zumbo. The book also examines the role of the "prazo" system, a form of land tenure prevalent in Mozambique, which granted Portuguese settlers extensive authority over vast tracts of land. While acknowledging the potential for abuse within this system, the author argues that it played a crucial role in maintaining Portuguese influence in the face of limited resources and the challenges posed by local resistance. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of power, diplomacy, and historical claims that shaped the colonial boundaries of Africa during a period of intense rivalry and exploration. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in understanding the origins of modern-day borders and the complexities of colonial rule in Africa.
