内容説明
The Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of Senegal, were first settled by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century. In this important new study, Richard Lobban sketches Cape Verdes complex history over five centuries, from its role in the slave trade through its protracted armed struggle on the Guinea coast for national independence. He offers a rich ethnography of the islands, exploring their complex ethnicity. Dr. Lobban provides a thoughtful analysis of the islands efforts to achieve economic growth and development through tourism, fishing, small-scale mining, and agricultural production and chronicles its peaceful transition from one-party rule to elections and political pluralism.

Richard Lobban sketches Cape Verdes complex history over five centuries, from its role in the slave trade through its years under Portuguese colonial administration and its protracted armed struggle on the Guinea coast for national independence, there and in Cape Verde.Dr. Lobban offers a rich ethnography of the islands, exploring the diverse heritage of Cape Verdeans who have descended from Africans, Europeans, and Luso-Africans. Looking at economics and politics, Lobban reflects on Cape Verdes efforts to achieve economic growth and development, analyzing the move from colonialism to state socialism and on to a privatized market economy built around tourism, fishing, small-scale mining, and agricultural production. He then chronicles Cape Verdes peaceful transition from one-party rule to elections and political pluralism. He concludes with an overview of the prospects for this tiny oceanic nation on a pathway to development.
