Welcome to H-Luso-Africa, a network initiated by the Lusophone African Studies Organization (LASO).
H-Luso-Africa aims to compile resources, host discussions and publish reviews that are relevant to scholars with interests in Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and São-Tomé and Príncipe.
Visit the following pages to find professional, research and teaching resources for scholars of Lusophone Africa:

Research Resources: Archives & Research Libraries, Digital Archives & Databases, Dissertations/Theses in Progress, Online News Media

Reviews are commissioned by H-Luso-Africa reviews editor Philip Havik.
