Abstract

Nei Lazarus has noted that the emergence of postcolonial studies as a discipline coincided with "the enforced end of the "bandung era". My work examines the "lusophone" south atlantic as a space eithin a wider tricontinental axis that raises the question as to whether we are witnessing a bandung - like resistance to northern hegemony, or merely a luso-tropical version of global capitalism - global capitalism with a smiling, southern face?
