The Cape Verde Islands, an Atlantic archipelago off the coast of
Senegal, were first settled during the Portuguese Age of Discovery
in the fifteenth century. A "Crioula" population quickly evolved
from a small group of Portuguese settlers and large numbers of
slaves from the West African coast. In this important, integrated
new study, Dr. Richard Lobban sketches Cape Verde's complex history
over five centuries, from its role in the slave trade through its
years under Portuguese colonial administration and its protracted
armed struggle on the Guinea coast for national independence, there
and in Cape Verde. Lobban offers a rich ethnography of the islands,
exploring the diverse heritage of Cape Verdeans who have descended
from Africans, Europeans, and Luso-Africans. Looking at economics
and politics, Lobban reflects on Cape Verde's efforts to achieve
economic growth and development, analyzing the move from
colonialism to state socialism, and on to a privatized market
economy built around tourism, fishing, small-scale mining, and
agricultural production. He then chronicles Cape Verde's peaceful
transition from one-party rule to elections and political
pluralism. He concludes with an overview of the prospects for this
tiny oceanic nation on a pathway to development.
