The countries being referred to as in the book have been categorized with their distinct historical experiences but it appears different while discussing their structural differences which denies comprehensive coherent dimension in order to analyse these different perspectives. Geographical dimensions of these countries differentiate them on the basis of their natural resources in the first place. Sao Tome Principe and Angola are dominated by oil resources while Mozambique is dominated by variety of natural resources clubbed with the size of the country and its demography. Cape Verde is primarily categorized as a dry archipelago associated with an industrious population. Cape Verde has benefitted and has made best use of their remittances with the help of migrants and tourist industry. Guinea Bissau is a relatively smaller economy while comparing with other Lusophone African countries. Fernando Arena's book has been conceptualized in background of realizing differences of post-colonial political system which have emerged and thus realizing differences of various political cultures. Diverse forms of post independence political developments do not suggest a common account for all these countries which was otherwise envisaged in a common colonial past. The reader hence has to develop a perspective while considering the case studies of various Lusophone countries not as entirely coherent political systems but considering them as different exclusive political systems developed after their respective struggles of independence.
