Abstract

In this study, it is argued that the last three decades of political change in the Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe did not bring about social inclusion, but on the contrary the reproduction of colonial patterns of inequality. The enduring stigmatization of former plantation workers - now transformed into farmers after the land privatization process - remains a salient characteristic of the archipelago's politics, legitimising their condition of political, social and economic subordination. © 2008 Brill Academic Publishers.
