The late-medieval Portuguese who arrived in Africa were colonizers
in the roman style, gold merchants on an imperial scale,
conquistadores in the Hispanic tradition. Although their empire
struggled to survive centuries of Dutch and English competition, it
revived in the twentieth century on a tide of white migration.
Settlers, however, brought racial conflict as well as economic
modernisation and the Portuguese colonies went through spasms of
violence which resembled those of Algeria and South Africa.
Liberation eventually came but the peoples of the old colonial
cities clung tightly to their acquired traditions, eating
Portuguese dishes, writing Portuguese poetry and studying in
Portuguese universities.
