The Second Economy in Angola: Esquema and Candonga

Daniel Santos

Chapter 10 in The Second Economy in Marxist States, 1990, pp 157-174 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Angola won its independence in 1975, after four centuries of Portuguese colonial rule and fifteen years of liberation struggle. Prior to the Berlin Conference in 1884–5, Portugal had confined Angola to the role of slave supplier for the plantations of Brazil and other colonial markets in the Americas. The Portuguese presence in Angola during this period was assured by the King’s armies, the Catholic Church, and the representatives of overseas companies involved in huge slavery transactions and small-scale trade.
