Overview
Este artigo examina um peculiar e pouco conhecido episódio de colonização ocorrido no Sul de Angola na década de 1880, em que migrantes empobrecidos da Ilha da Madeira foram mobilizados pelo governo português para garantir a ocupação do território de fronteira no contexto da competição europeia pela África. A análise das fontes primárias revela improvisos, precariedades e ambiguidades que a história colonial produzida no século XX veio a apagar e substituir por uma narrativa de heroísmo e pioneirismo. This article analyses a peculiar and obscure episode in the colonial history of southern Angola. In the 1880s, the Portuguese government sponsored the settlement in the Huíla plateau of a group of impoverished migrants from the island of Madeira. This was part of a strategy of guaranteeing territorial control, frontier expansion and definition of borders in the context of the \"European scramble for Africa\". The study of primary sources reveals a great deal of improvisation, fragilities and ambiguities that the colonial history written in the 20th century rapidly erased and replaced for a narrative of pioneering heroism and white entitlement.
