Notes
1. See, especially, David Birmingham’s essay “The twenty seventh of May”, first published close to the time (in African Affairs) in 1979 but later available under the same title as Chapter 13 of his Portugal and Africa (Citation1999); a second essay, citing some of the same argument, was developed by Birmingham in 2003 after a trip to Angola that year, one that appeared later as Chapter 11, “A journey through Angola”, in Birmingham’s Empire in Africa: Angola and its neighbors (Citation2006).
