As other European colonial empires were tentatively transforming their labour and social policies in the aftermath of the war, the Portuguese Empire in Africa resisted significant changes in this domain, preserving a strict dual labour regime. As a result, a growing number of individuals, networks and institutions abroad engaged with labour and social realities in Portuguese African colonies, giving origin to a series of instances of denunciation of labour-related abuses. Portuguese authorities responded to these initiatives by selectively engaging with international norms, languages and mechanisms. However, as global decolonisation gained momentum, international and transnational events and processes would significantly constrain Portuguese imperial and colonial decision-making procedures, with the aim of retaining the empire. Therefore, the ?native labour? question became in its own right a crucial political and diplomatic element of the broader struggles over the meaning of Portuguese imperial legitimacy. As this volume argues, these historical processes are critical to properly understanding the history of Portuguese late colonialism and its protracted trajectory of decolonisation. José Pedro Monteiro is a Research Fellow at the Communication and Society Research Centre - University of Minho, Portugal. His current research project focuses on the politics of citizenship in the Portuguese late colonial empire. He has been working, for the last few years, on the intersections between international and imperial histories and historiographies. With Miguel Bandeira Jerónimo, he co-edited Internationalism, Imperialism and the Formation of the Contemporary World (Palgrave, 2017). He is currently the coordinator of the research project ?Humanity Internationalized: Cases, Dynamics, Comparisons (1945?1980)?, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology. . 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aImperialism 606 $aLabor 606 $aHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aLabor History 606 $aAfrican History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 607 $aAfrica$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aLabor. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aLabor History. 615 24$aAfrican History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a325.3 676 $a325.3469096 700 $aMonteiro$b Jose?
