Ricardo Roque. “The racial science of patriotic primitives: António Mendes Correia in Portuguese Timor Leste” (pp. 159-183), disponível em https://repositorio.ul.pt/handle/10451/39067
Resumo: This chapter investigates how race and affect, racialized notions of biological primitivism and nationalistic imageries of affect, could come together into one consequential form of Luso-colonial racial science in the postwar years. I explore Portuguese racial conceptions beyond Luso-tropicalist emphasis on miscegenation, to call attention to the pervading significance of (physical) anthropological research on the “native tribes” of the Portuguese colonial empire.

Resumo: The term Luso-tropicalism was crafted in the 1950s by the Brazilian anthropologist and cultural historian Gilberto Freyre. In his earlier works on colonial Brazil, Freyre suggested that the Portuguese colonizers had a special ability to adapt to the tropics by easily intermingling, intermarrying, and interchanging cultural elements with different peoples, given that they were themselves the result of multiple mixtures. Two decades later, he expanded the idea into a concept suitable to all societies sharing Portuguese influence, whether colonial plantations, settler societies, or conquest territories.Pode ler o capítulo aqui:
