Download or read book The Wealth of History of the Small African Twin-Island State São Tomé and Príncipe written by Gerhard Seibert and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twin-island state of São Tomé and Príncipe, located in the Gulf of Guinea, is the second smallest African country, after the Seychelles. The essays of this collection highlight crucial periods and important events in the country’s varied and eventful history, which spans more than 500 years. Portugal colonised the islands twice in significantly different economic and historical contexts: first, in the sixteenth century during its maritime expansion, and secondly in the latter half of the nineteenth century, at the beginning of the colonisation of Africa by European powers. In these two periods, the small islands played a pioneering role in the economic history of sugar and cocoa, respectively. Following independence in 1975, the country’s economic development has fallen far short of expectations and consequently its dependence on foreign aid has persisted. Nevertheless, external observers have considered the archipelago of 225,000 inhabitants to be a model of parliamentary democracy in Africa.

São Tomé and Principe was colonized by the Portuguese in the late 15th century and gained independence in 1975.

The nation is also rich in cultural and historical landmarks, such as the historic city of São Tomé, which is home to many colonial-era buildings and sites.

Book Synopsis Sao Tome and Principe Political Governance and Economy, a History by : Archie Bradley
Download or read book Sao Tome and Principe Political Governance and Economy, a History written by Archie Bradley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe Political Governance and Economy. A Book on S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe On 7 August 2016, Evaristo Carvalho, candidate of the ruling Ac��o Democr�tica Independente (ADI) was elected president of S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe, Africa's second smallest country and one of the very few African states with a semi-presidential system. For the first time in the country's 25-year democratic history the candidate of the ruling party won the elections. However, unlike earlier elections in the small archipelago for the first time the elections were marked by accusations of irregularities that culminated in the refusal of the incumbent President Manuel Pinto da Costa, the second most voted candidate, to participate in the final ballot. President Carvalho is not expected to rigorously monitor or even complicate the government's actions, since he is widely considered a proxy of Prime Minister Patrice Trovoada. Such harmony between government and president is unprecedented in S�o Tom� and Pr�ncipe, because in the previous five presidential elections the electorate has always preferred the cohabitation between the two office holders. A somewhat different situation only occurred in the free first presidential elections in 1991 when Miguel Trovoada, Patrice's father, was elected unopposed president with the support of the Partido da Converg�ncia Democr�tica (PCD), which had won the preceding legislative elections. However, President Miguel Trovoada (1991-2001) EconomySaotomean economy, as for those Small Island Developing States (SIDS), is strongly constrained by the insular nature of the country, its fragility, as well as by the resources' constraints and the weakness of the absorption capacity. This results in an extreme vulnerability to external shocks and a strong dependence on official assistance (ODA), which funds more than 90% of investment spending (averaging 93.6% over the period 2012-2015).

Book Synopsis Wealth, Land, and Property in Angola by : Mariana P. Candido
Download or read book Wealth, Land, and Property in Angola written by Mariana P. Candido and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the multifaceted history of dispossession, consumption, and inequality in West Central Africa, Mariana P. Candido presents a bold revisionist history of Angola from the sixteenth century until the Berlin Conference of 1884–5. Synthesising disparate strands of scholarship, including the histories of slavery, land tenure, and gender in West Central Africa, Candido makes a significant contribution to ongoing historical debates. She demonstrates how ideas about dominion and land rights eventually came to inform the appropriation and enslavement of free people and their labour. By centring the experiences of West Central Africans, and especially African women, this book challenges dominant historical narratives, and shows that securing property was a gendered process. Drawing attention to how archives obscure African forms of knowledge and normalize conquest, Candido interrogates simplistic interpretations of ownership and pushes for the decolonization of African history.
