The Story
Partido Nacional Africano emerged from the activities of a small group of Mozambican intellectuals living in Portugal. Alongside Liga Africana, it connected Mozambican political organization abroad to the broader Pan-African movement. Its existence reflects the importance of metropolitan settings as places where colonial subjects could build associations and engage with international currents of African political thought.
The organization sympathized more with Garveyism than with the institutional network associated with W. E. B. Du Bois’s Pan-African Congress. This orientation distinguished it from Liga Africana and placed it closer to the ideas associated with Marcus Garvey’s movement.
