CASTELO, Cláudia  e  ALVES, Vera Marques. On the distance between the “colonial situation” in Mozambique and the luso-tropicalism: letter of António Rita Ferreira to Jorge Dias, with attached article. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp.417-438. ISSN 0873-6561.

This in memoriam reveals that in an unpublished article attached to a letter to Jorge Dias, António Rita Ferreira criticized the lack of sociological foundation of the luso-tropicalism in Mozambique. It adds density to the figure of the amateur anthropologist who became known for the controversy with Marvin Harris, unveils the complicity between the two Portuguese anthropologists, despite their different paths and perspectives, and confirms the potentialities of private correspondence as historical source.

Palavras-chave : anthropologists; colonialism; correspondence; luso-tropicalism; Mozambique.
