A África que o Português Criou​
The Africa that the Portuguese Created

"Proof that a multi-racial society is possible is forthcoming from Brazil, the greatest Latin-American power and a nation of Portuguese roots. It would, therefore, be necessary to deny this fact, as well as many others, to sustain the impossibility of a social constitution of this type on African territory."

-António de Oliveira Salazar (1966)


"Brazil can serve as an example. But, unfortunately, little in Europe is known about its particulars or its history. A policy of racial equality was also carried out in the political and social spheres there- just as is happening in our African territories. If the world will give us time, we could also finish building of multiracial societies in which, as in the case of Brazil, distinctions according to ethnic groups do not exist."

-Marcello Caetano (1973)
