Dear Dr. Teotonio R. de Souza: Further to my other post of this very day, Ren� P�lissier says in a footnote at page 80 of vol. II of his "Hist�ria de Mo�ambique" the following (this footnote is to the epiteth "Indian half-caste" which the British gave to MAS): �Recuperado pelos Portugueses e pelo Estado Novo, que nele viram a irrefrag�vel demonstra��o do multi-racialismo oficial, tornar-se-ia num dos principais her�is da ulterior historiografia. Em 1935, o centen�rio do seu nascimento foi devidamente celebrado por Mo�ambique e pelas comunidades goesas da �frica Oriental. Ver Instituto Goano de Louren�o Marques, "Homenagem a Manuel Ant�nio de Sousa pelo 1� Centen�rio do seu nascimento (1835-1935)". Louren�o Marques, 1935�. From this "Homenagem" book I reproduce a poem in Konkani by Paulo Naz�rio Pinto, on top of which there is a portrait of MAS in military costume:
