Synopsis

The Fixation of Angola's Terrestrial Borders, authored by Benjamim Afonso, is an in-depth study of the genesis and consolidation of the boundary lines of the Angolan territory. The work analyzes the complex process of diplomatic negotiation and effective occupation that took place between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting the role of international conferences and bilateral treaties between colonial powers. The author explores how the Berlin Conference and subsequent agreements with Germany, Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom shaped Angola's current geographical configuration. Through a rigorous analysis combining history, geography, and international law, the book details the technical and political challenges of border demarcation within the context of imperialist expansion. This work is an indispensable resource for academics, diplomats, and students interested in national sovereignty, African geopolitics, and the formation of the Angolan State.
