LUANDA 61. Texte et coordination de: Almeida Santos. Collaboration de: Alvim Braga. Photographies de: Foto Luz, Foto Império e C.I.T.A. Luanda. 1961. De 29x22 cm. Com [CXXI] págs. Profusamente ilustrado com fotogravuras. Encadernação do editor. Exemplar com danos com perda de papel e revestimento nas pastas e lombada, leves manchas de oxidação nas folhas preliminares e finais. Obra de propaganda colonial impressa em língua francesa. A obra é um retrato da vida quotidiana em Luanda e nas suas zonas limítrofes na iminência da Guerra Colonial Portuguesa. O autor procurou demonstrar a harmonia entre colonos portugueses e habitantes locais, num clima de coexistência e respeito pela dignidade humana, conforme atestam as citações iniciais da obra, extraídas de discursos de altas figuras da época: do Embaixador do Brasil em Benguela, do delegado francês no Conselho de Segurança da Organização das Nações Unidas e do General Frank Howley, Vice-Presidente da Universidade de Nova Iorque. Publicada posteriormente aos massacres de Março de 1961, a tónica da obra incide sobre a natureza indissociável do vínculo entre «brancos, negros e mestiços», alheios às manifestações terroristas que tiveram lugar no Norte daquela que era ainda uma das Províncias Ultramarinas portuguesas. Desta forma, o registo fotográfico tem subjacente o simbolismo de união «da nascença à morte», abordando, na seguinte ordem, as temáticas: No nascimento; Na infância; Na escola; Nas manifestações religiosas; Nas festas; No casamento; No trabalho; Nos momentos de folga; No desporto; Nos transportes colectivos; Na doença; Nas manifestações patrióticas; Nos actos solenes; Na defesa do património comum; Na dor; Na morte. Acresce a esta linha temporal, consubstanciada em fotografias de época, um registo da construção civil no país ? «Para a Frente! Para a Frente!» ?, demonstrativo da aposta num futuro comum, e também um apontamento sobre os massacres ? «Há Luto na Nossa Casa». Language: Francês / French Location/localizacao: I-23-B-24.…
