Suddenly, in the summer of 1960, the map of Africa gained a new political outline, with the proclamation of nine independences. But the majority of Luanda’s newspapers appeared not to see the ‘wind of change’ blowing through the continent. In its pages, the news of Africa would barely mention more than the crisis in one of its neighbours, the former Belgian Congo. The analysis of the news about the proclamation of independences leads us to formulate the hypothesis that the relative invisibility of the smooth transitions and the major emphasis given to turbulent situations in the continent contributed to value the Portuguese colonial model. Crossing the analysis with research made in archive, this article also contributes to the characterisation of the Angolan daily press on the eve of the Portuguese colonial war.

用里斯本的眼睛看非洲
突然,在 1960 年夏天,非洲地图获得了新的政治轮廓,宣布了九个独立。但罗安达的大多数报纸似乎都没有看到“变革之风”席卷整个大陆。在它的页面中,非洲的新闻只提到了它的一个邻国——前比利时刚果的危机。对有关宣布独立的消息的分析使我们得出这样的假设,即平稳过渡的相对隐蔽性和对大陆动荡局势的主要强调有助于评价葡萄牙殖民模式。将分析与档案研究相结合,本文也有助于描述葡萄牙殖民战争前夕的安哥拉日报。
