January, 1890 - Britain threatens Portugal with an Ultimatum: Abandon south-east Africa or face a naval bombardment of Lisbon.
Three centuries earlier, the poet Luís de Camões described the region at issue -
Behold the lake which is the Nile's source.
And the green Zambezi, too, begins its course.
Further upstream, the river becomes serpentine, twisting itself into a vast swamp, known to Europeans as Elephant Marsh, choked with papyrus, monstrous baobabs, and marabou storks like coffins. Every mud bank has a gang of crocodiles, the air thick with mosquitoes and the nearest horizon a tousled fringe of swamp palms. Could the European Powers go to War over such a Wilderness?
The second third was played out at the University of York where he joined the Centre for Southern African Studies in 1980, becoming Director in 1984. Here, partly in collaboration with Leroy Vail, he wrote the books based on his African experiences - two Mozambican histories, the history of a village in Malawi, a study of southern Africa praise poetry, an anthology of African oral poetry and three collections of his own poetry. Since 1994, he has lived in Portugal where he teaches at the Universidade Aberta. Here, he has published a prize-winning translation of Camões The Lusiads, and four further collections of poetry, including Where the Angolans are Playing Football: Selected and New Poems and Arab Work.
The Collected Lyrics of Luís de Camões was published by Princeton University Press in 2008. Singing Bass, a further collection of poems, appeared in 2009, and Livingstone's Funeral, a novel, in 2010. His most recent collection of poems, Letters from Portugal, was published in 2014 by Kondwani publications.
