          Abstract

          Abstract The short-lived publication O Negro (1911) was a journal created and written by a group of individuals who came mainly from the colonized islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, off the west coast of Africa. This article argues that the publication constituted the first, although ephemeral, Black-owned journal to question the colonial status quo in Lisbon in the twentieth century. By means of a powerful, albeit often ambivalent discourse on exploitation, racial injustice, and economic hardship, O Negro articulated a transnational focus for a reassessment of the colonial relationship in Lusophone territories. It thereby provided the foundation for later attempts struggling for racial justice up to the establishment of the Salazar dictatorship.

          Resumo A publicação O Negro (1911), de curta duração, foi um jornal criado e escrito por um grupo de indivíduos que eram principalmente das ilhas colonizadas de São Tomé e Príncipe, na costa oeste da África. O argumento deste artigo é que esta publicação constitui o primeiro, embora efémero, periódico da propriedade de pessoas oriundas da África a fornecer uma reevaluação da relação colonial em Lisboa no século XX. Por meio de um poderoso e às vezes ambivalente discurso sobre a exploração, a injustiça racial e as dificuldades económicas, O Negro articulou um enfoque transnacional para aqueles que questionavam a relação colonial nos territórios lusófonos. Assim, forneceu a base para tentativas em épocas posteriores a favor da luta pela justiça racial até o estabelecimento da ditadura de Salazar.
