Luso-Africans

Luso-Africans are Africans who are people of mixed African and Portuguese heritage generally living in Africa. This ethnic identity arose from the sixteenth century as primarily male Portuuese settlers, often Lançados, settled in various parts of Africa, often marrying African women.[1]
