Resumo(s)
This article analyses the issue of miscegenation in Portugal, which
is directly associated with the context of its colonial empire, from
late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. The analysis considers
sources from both literary and scientific fields. Subsequently, aspects
such as interracial marriage, degeneration and segregation as well
as the changes brought about by the end of World War II and the
social revolutions of the 1960s are considered. The 1980s brought
several changes in the attitude towards Portuguese identity and
nationality, which had meanwhile cut loose from its colonial context.
Crossbreeding was never actually praised in the Portuguese colonial
context, and despite still having strong repercussions in the present
day, lusotropicalism was based on a fallacious rhetoric of politically
motivated propaganda.
