	Lusophony in Africa
		The relationships of domination and exploitation that were established during the colonial period were central to the shaping of the state and the articulation of state-society relations.
		Yet, the wave of democratic transitions that spread across Lusophone African countries during the 1980s has encountered serious difficulties which, if they are to be understood, must be located in the historical processes that have helped to shape each of these countries.
		Social researchers, whether Lusophone or not, are invited to reflect on the various analytical issues generated by the experiences of the Portuguese-speaking countries of Africa.

	Lusophone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Lusophone is someone who speaks the Portuguese language natively or by adoption.
		As an adjective, it means "Portuguese-speaking." The word itself is derived from the name of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, which covered an area that is today Portugal.
		Lusophone countries include Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique, Angola, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, East Timor, Macau and others in various parts of the world.

	Lusophone music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In varying forms, the genre has dominated Portuguese music since the early 20th century, and has also spread to its former colonies, especially Brazil and the African colonies (Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde and Angola), while having a lesser influence on the Asian colonies of Sri Lanka and East Timor.
		Of all the Lusophone countries, the one with the most internationally renowned popular music is probably Brazil.
		Mozambique boasts popular timbila and marrabenta music, and Guinea-Bissau's gumbe scene once thrived; Angolan semba accentuates the later crosscultural linking between the Lusophone countries -- it is related to Brazilian samba, but the origins of both are murky and unclear.

		In micronationalism, the term has an added significance, since a large number of micronations are located in Brazil, and are populated almost exclusively by lusophone citizens.
		This language difficulty is not aided by the belief, current in some circles on both sides of the language gap, that computer-aided translation services such as Babelfish can be relied upon, without further effort, to translate texts between the two languages.
		The results of abuse of Babelfish are often unintentionally hilarious, as when the Portuguese phrase for "Year of Our Lord" becoms "Year of Ours Mister", in the rather literal-minded computer translation.

	African Literature - MSN Encarta
		Portugal’s African empire was small compared with the empires of France and Great Britain, and Lusophone works are not as readily available in English translation as are Francophone works.
		Beginning in the 1940s, Lusophone prose writers sought to provide a more authentic image of Africa than that popularized by colonial writers, which tended toward racism.
		The new trend in Lusophone African literature manifests itself mainly in poetry and combines an interest in issues of identity, ethnicity, alienation, and language with what one critic has described as tropical sensuousness.

		Mozambique, the other lusophone African country, to which half of the book is dedicated, presents similar issues.

		The bibliography, compiled by Caroline Shaw, references texts applicable for the study of Lusophone Africa, but is by no means extensive and is difficult to navigate.

		Removing cultural, political and other barriers between the receivers and donors is a precondition for effective international transfer of knowledge and technical assistance for development.
		These countries, their institutions and individual experts, have not been as intensively integrated in the implementation of FAO/UNFPA TSS as those from the majority of countries belonging to the Anglophone and Francophone parts of Africa.
		Through annotations of nearly one hundred selected references, this Bibliography thus intends to shed more light on the manner in which the theme of Women, Population and Development (WPD) figures in the main focus, or as part of broader interpretations of agriculture and rural development issues in the PALOPs.

	Lusophone literature : an introduction
		If it remains characteristic of Lusophone Africa that to have one's books published requires a great degree of luck and kow-towing to the right people, again the challenge is far greater for women than it is for men.
		Neither do I attempt to compare their role in the creation or development of a Lusophone African sensitivity which in time came to be crucial to the anti-colonialist struggle against the Portuguese.
		Although dismissed by some critics of Lusophone African writing as strong in anger but short on technique, de Sousa's poetry does more for the articulation of genuinely Mozambican identity than the writing of her more popular male colleagues.

		Portugal's new head of diplomacy, a former conservative leader and losing rightwing candidate in a fiercely fought 1986 presidential poll won by former Socialist leader Mario Soares, said he had received invitations to visit Angola, Sao Tome and Brazil "in the near future".
		Lisbon must not neglect its ties with Europe at the expense of revitalized relations with the Lusophone bloc, he cautioned, and Portugal will have a more clout within the EU through boosting its presence in Africa.
