Abstract(s)

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.
