Resumo: In the present paper I discuss the assumptions and significance of some of the theses and techniques behind Portuguese colonial land policies in Africa between the mid1920s and the 1940s, and discuss their role in the Portuguese colonial project. I particularly address the extent to which, both in national and international discussion fora on colonial topics, as well as in official discourse, through the voice of politicians in the metropole as well as colonial administrators and experts, arguments in favour of African access to individual property, for different purposes, gained ground. These arguments went against the dominant perspective in Portuguese colonial thought between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which dictated the limited access of Africans to the land for instance in the name of economic development of colonial territories, the fight against land speculation and the safeguarding of Portuguese sovereignty in Africa.

Acompanho em especial o modo como, quer em fóruns nacionais e internacionais de discussão sobre temáticas coloniais, quer no discurso oficial, pela voz de políticos na metrópole e de administradores e técnicos coloniais, foram ganhando peso teses que previam o acesso das populações africanas à propriedade individual para diversos fins. Estas iam contra a perspetiva dominante no pensamento colonial português até ao início do século XX, que ditava o acesso limitado dos africanos à terra, em nome, por exemplo, da valorização económica dos territórios coloniais, do combate à especulação imobiliária e da salvaguarda da soberania portuguesa em África.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2014-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2015213.01https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2015213.01Análise Social; Vol. 49 N.º 213 (2014); 768-7932182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23233https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/23233/17300Direitos de Autor (c) 2014 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDireito , Bárbara2024-02-24T06:09:31Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/23233Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:01:51.108122Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
