Before / if coming here it would be useful if a Brit had an understanding of basic Portuguese history particularly the Scramble for Africa. If reading up on the subject we recommend the following recent 1990 text as a means of getting a grasp of an important period for Portugal. So, why not download this and take it to your Portuguese language tutor ? It will mean a great deal to the Portuguese tutor to realise that a British citizen wants to know more about this part of Portugal's history – before arriving.

If wanting to know more yourself your software should allow you to separate it into 3 parts and then google translate it in 3 sessions. Suggest to the Portuguese tutor this text becomes the 'course background reading' for all his / her other British students learning the language and about the country.

Here's a short bit for the Portuguese tutor to discuss ….

Não é porém ao nível individual das personalidades públicas, mas, pelo contrário, ao nível colectivo das massas anónimas, que o movimento patriótico assume a sua maior dimensão.

Nas ruas, nos edifícios públicos, nos cafés, nas salas de espectáculo, as manifestações patrióticas rebentam amiúde e, com elas, os «Morra a Inglaterra» e os «Abaixo os piratas».

Não raras são as vezes que a imprensa noticia «Uma inglesada» (um roubo), a «Prisão dum inglês» (prisão dum ladrão) ou «Preso por inglesar»

    Even though compromises and agreements look straight forward, the parties involved usually have ulterior motives. The Compromise of 1877 was consisted of a few main point. It called for the withdrawal of all federal troops from the South, supported internal improvements in the South and promised to appoint at least one Southerner to the cabinet. Also it gave conservative Southern Democrats some control over their local patronage and gave the South a free hand in race relations. Many may have seen these details as a way to mend the country back together, however it was really just a despicable plan. Although the Compromise of 1877 was successful in burying sectional tensions, in reality, it was a cynical political deal because it was a fraudulent election, white conservatives maintained power, and blacks became disenfranchised.…

    Laura de Mello e Souza’s doctoral dissertation began a study on sorcery in colonial Brazil during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The years prior to the time when she began writing her dissertation many works in historiography had been published. With nothing focusing on Brazil, de Mello e Souza knew there was an abundance of information from the Portuguese Inquisition. Delving deeper into her research contained within the Devassas, a new issue surfaced for de Mello e Souza, the emergence of the colonials living religion. Merging together with folkloric European reminiscence were new contributions from both African and indigenous cultures. The formation of Brazilian culture is directly attributed to the newly formed colonial…

    It is one of the best anthropological accounts of this region. The style is gripping with detailed statement of experiences, of the people of African origin in the former colonies of Spain and Portugal and the stamp of their influence on these parts on all walks of life – society, economics and culture. While the history of the Blacks is well researched and ably presented in USA, it is not so with Latin America where there is still an air of mystery and vacuum. It is ironical that it should be so considering the fact that it has the highest number of Africans residing here outside the African continent (Fagundes 68-78).…

    This kind of exploration also helped them to trade with outside world. The increasing demand for luxury goods from Asia and Africa made the merchants travel a lot to fulfil this demand. Those merchants traveled and traded gold, slaves, and ivory(page 35). By the 1498, Portugal had already capitalised commercial empire in India, Indonesia, and China(page 35), thanks to Bartolomeu Dias who sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and found out that was also possible to sail to India and China (page…
