Title: Ambivalent Islam: the identity construction of Muslims under Portuguese colonial rule Authors: Machaqueiro, Mário Abstract: This article wishes to contribute to the study of the historical processes that have been spotting Muslim populations as favourite targets for political analysis and governance. Focusing on the Portuguese archives, civil as well as military, the article tries to uncover the most conspicuous identity representations (mainly negative or ambivalent) that members of Portuguese colonial apparatus built around Muslim communities living in African colonies, particularly in Guinea- Bissau and Mozambique. The paper shows how these culturally and politically constructed images were related to the more general strategies by which Portuguese imagined their own national identity, both as ‘European’ and as ‘coloniser’ or ‘imperial people’. The basic assumption of this article is that policies enforced in a context of interethnic and religious competition are better understood when linked to the identity strategies inherent to them. These are conceived as strategic constructions aimed at the preservation, protection and imaginary expansion of the subject, who looks for groups to be included in and out-groups to reject, exclude, aggress or eliminate. The author argues that most of the inter-ethnic relationships and conflicts, as well as the very experience of ethnicity, are born from this identity matrix.

Title: Portugal em poema pela pena de Lord George Nugent Grenville. A história da história colhida no campo de batalha Authors: Lousada, Isabel Abstract: A efeméride suscita a curiosidade de públicos muito diferenciados o que é sempre estimulante. A produção escrita dá conta de um assinalável recrudescimento em volta do tema, como algumas das imagens agora recuperadas para a nossa comunicação ilustram . Contudo, alguns anos antes, o CETAPS, Centre for English, Translation and Anglo‑Portuguese Studies, à época, CEAP, Centro de Estudos Anglo‑Portugueses, fora pioneiro na divulgação de temas e obras relacionando o que a História e a Literatura haviam dado a conhecer, no respeitante aos Estudos Anglo‑Portugueses e à temática em epígrafe. Saliente‑se, em especial, o mestrado desenvolvido em torno das campanhas napoleónicas visando colmatar lacunas sobre o conhecimento relativo à presença britânica no nosso país e à imagem que os relatos dos militares nelas envolvidas haviam dado conta. Vários foram os documentos científicos produzidos (nomeadamente teses e comunicações), alguns dos quais foram depois editados. A obra assinada por Gabriela Gândara Terenas, O Portugal da Guerra Peninsular – A Visão dos Militares Britânicos (1808‑1812), dada ao prelo em Junho de 2000, em muito veio suprir essa lacuna, pois a um só tempo se propôs conciliar temáticas complementares, reunindo os aspectos que a literatura de viagem e os testemunhos de guerra oferecem.

Title: THE ISLAMIC POLICY OF PORTUGUESE COLONIAL MOZAMBIQUE, 1960-1973 Authors: Machaqueiro, Mário Abstract: Drawing its information from different documents in Portuguese and French archives, this article examines the evolution of Portuguese colonial policies regarding Islam, focusing the special case of Mozambique. Such policies evolved from an attitude of neglect and open repression, prevalent in the early years of the colonial war, when Muslims were perceived as main supporters of the anti-colonial guerrilla in northern Mozambique, to a more nuanced approach that tried to isolate ‘African Muslims’ from foreign influences in order to align them with the Portuguese combat against the anti-colonial movement. The article analyses the latter strategy, assessing its successes and failures and the contributions made by several actors that were engaged in this achievement: the Catholic Church, the core of political power and its local ramifications in the colonies.
