Diálogos da política africana do Brasil: uma análise das aproximações políticas e culturais entre Brasil e Cabo Verde (1970-1990)

Abstract

This work seeks to understand the diplomatic relations established between Brazil and countries of the African continent, specifically those that have lived the logic of Portuguese colonization, as in the case of Cape Verde. The analysis proposed here focuses on the years 1970 to 1990, a post-independence context, which is a period of intense political and trade exchanges between the two countries. This was also an important moment where it is noticeable that the inclinations of Brazilian foreign policy are structured from the implementation of diplomatic projects aimed at the countries of the so-called Portuguese Africa. Based on the documentation available on the website of the Embassy of Cape Verde in Brazil and the Library of the Presidency of the Republic, the objective is to collect and map the files referring to the official speeches and the projects implemented between the two countries.
