"This manuscript makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Lisbon as a hub for discussions on Black emancipation in Europe during the first half of the 20th century. It situates Portugal within the broader context of Black and African struggles, making a vital contribution to emerging scholarly work that explores the connections between movements against colonialism and racial discrimination in Europe, Africa, and the Americas." * Marta Araújo, University of Coimbra "Richard Cleminson makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Lisbon as a hub for discussions on Black emancipation in Europe during the first half of the twentieth century.
