A Modernizing Empire? Politics, Culture and Economy in Portuguese Late Colonialism
Orientador(es)
Resumo(s)
The politics and policies of late colonialism in the Portuguese empire
were characterized by a repressive developmentalism, a particular combination
of enhanced coercive (symbolic and material) repertoires of rule,
programmed developmental strategies of political, economic and sociocultural
change, and processes of engineering of socio-cultural differentiation.
At its core, as Frederick Cooper noted, was a 'repressive version
of the developmentalist colonial state. The late imperial and colonial
states aimed to co-ordinate policies of imperial resilience in a context
of widespread evolving colonial and international pressures which were
contrary to their existence, or pressing for their substantial reform.2 They
were the institutional loci in which the entangled policies of repressive
developmentalism evolved, in which there was a coalescence between
idioms, programmes, and repertoires of colonial social control and coercion
(for instance, the schemes of resettlement, civil and military, of the
African population and the strategies of counter-insurgency) - related,
but not reducible, to the colonial wars and to the militarization of
colonial societies; idioms, programmes, and repertoires of colonial development
and modernization (for instance, the developmental plans of the
1950s and 1960s); and idioms, projects, and repertoires of imperial and
colonial social engineering (for instance, tllre indigennto regime or the
nationalized version of the doctrine of welfare colonialism and its languages
and programmes of native welfare and native social promotion).
