The multidisciplinary atmosphere encourages collaboration between diverse research and theoretical perspectives focused on topics such as culture contact and change, ethnic relations, identity formation, transnational networks, neo/post-colonialism, globalization, etc. This symposium explores three important questions: (1) How were the Portuguese unique in their maritime conduct? (2) How did African societies react to, adapt to, and resist Portuguese expansion? (3) How do these real and imagined histories influence contemporary African societies’ worldviews?
