Extract
The Centro de Estudos Africanos (Centre of African Studies - henceforth CEA) was founded soon after Mozambique's independence in June 1975. It was set up under the directorship of Aquino de Bragança, who was formerly Secretary to the Conference of Nationalist Organisations in the Portuguese Colonies, that linked together all the lusophone liberation movements during the anti-colonial struggle. From its inception the C.E.A. had two high priorities - a committment to collective research and to studies vhich would te relevant to the needs of Mozambique in its attempt to build a socialist society. The latter was not seen simply in narrow nationalistic terms, but was placed firmly within the regional context. Hence, the first major study carried out was on the political economy of Zimbabwe as a background document to the Geneva talks of 1976.
