Christine Messiant

Christine Messiant (1947-2006) was an author, and a sociologist at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.[1] She had been a member of the African Studies Centre since 1968, and most of her research concerned the sociology and history of Angola.[1] Messiant was one of the foremost authorities on modern Angola.[2] During the 1980s and 1990s she was a co-director of a seminar on "Southern Africa" in the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences.[1] In 1992 she and Michel Cahen and Christian Geffray founded an association, and in 1994 they founded an annual journal, both called Lusotopie, to create political analysis of modern spaces coming from Portuguese colonization and history.[1][3][4]
