The chapters span over two centuries and cover five formerly colonial territories - Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe - deploying a range of methodologies to explore the multiple meanings and the contested uses of the photographic image across the realms of politics, science, culture and war. This book responds to a marked surge of international interest in the relationship between photography and colonialism, which has hitherto largely overlooked the Portuguese imperial context, by delivering the most recent scholarly findings to a broad readership. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFilipa Lowndes Vicente\u003c\/b\u003e is a Researcher and Deputy Director at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon (ICS-ULisboa).
