Nesta obra, Carlos Afonso Schmitt escreve sobre o poder que as palavras exercem em nosso dia a dia, quando muitas vezes falamos sem pensar, esquecendo-nos da energia que estamos colocando em movimento, ou surpreendemo-nos com o que ouvimos, provavelmente porque não havíamos prestado atenção às verdadeiras intenções das pessoas com as quais convivemos.

This edited collection presents the first critical and historical overview of photography in Portuguese colonial Africa to an English-speaking audience. Photography in Portuguese Colonial Africa, 1860–1975 brings together sixteen scholars from interdisciplinary fields as varied as history, anthropology, art history, visual culture and museum studies, to consider some of the key aspects in the visual representation of the longest-lasting European colonial empire in the African continent. The chapters span over two centuries and cover five formerly colonial territories – Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe – deploying a range of methodologies to explore the multiple meanings and the contested uses of the photographic image across the realms of politics, science, culture and war. This book responds to a marked surge of international interest in the relationship between photography and colonialism, which has hitherto largely overlooked the Portuguese imperial context, by delivering the most recent scholarly findings to a broad readership.
