1. It seems that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find clans from the same
tribe, one of which keeps the traditional culture, While others are differently
accultured by Portuguese and by English people. But it should be possible to find
people of one tribe who are affected by the Portuguese and by the English cultures.
Then it will be possible to study in some individuals what will not be possible to
study in communities.
2. lowever, the Portuguese from Mozambique seem to be themselves rather influenced by
the British,. in many ways, and especially in what concerns race relations. While
the Portuguese generally speaking have no race prejudice, those of South Africa Who
are in direct contact with British culture, &eem not to be free from the same
prejudice that we know is very strong in British South Africa. In this case I will
not expect to observe such a striking difference in the Bantus who have been in
contact With Portuguese or with British people. But a difference should be evident
and after our work is completed in East South Africa, it will be interesting to
observe the same influences in Bantus from Angola, where the Portuguese culture
is more preserved from the British race prejudice influence,
