A specialist in the history of Portuguese anthropology and colonialism, Matos (anthropology, U. of Lisbon) looks at the role race played in the country's colonial thinking and behavior. She covers the roots of racial discrimination, the place of the colonies and their populations in the Portuguese colonial empire, and representations of the colonies and the overseas Portuguese in the great exhibitions. Among the topics are the emergence of modern racism, colonial representations in primary and secondary school readers, racial fixity and the invention of human types, a "Guinean village" at the Lisbon Industrial Exhibition (1932), and the exotic versus familiar status of the colonized populations at the exhibitions.
