diario viagem presidencial - DIÁRIO da Viagem Presidencial às Províncias de S. Tomé e Príncipe e Angola em 1954 . Coordenação de Rodrigues Matias. Lisboa: Agência Geral do Ultramar, 1955. 2 v.: il.; 255 mm. Official edition documenting the trip of the President of the Republic, General Francisco Craveiro Lopes, to the then ”Overseas Provinces” of São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola, between May 21 and July 2, 1954: the tour began in São Tomé and continued to Angola (arriving in Luanda on May 27), with stops, inaugurations, and extensive institutional coverage. As part of the Estado Novo's strategy of imperial assertion following the 1951 constitutional revision—which replaced the term ”colonies” with ”overseas provinces”—the visit sought to project works and loyalties into a sensitive context. The ”Diary” brings together this political-propaganda performance in two profusely illustrated volumes. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
