Os resultados das suas pesquisas têm sido publicados em revistas científicas com elevado fator de impacto, como as Social History of Medicine, Journal of Contemporary History ou Medical History. Esse livro, baseado na tese de doutoramento do autor, defendida em 2014 no European University Institute, em Florença, corresponde a um exigente processo de maturação e revisão científica. O resultado é um estudo inovador que contribui para o avanço do conhecimento sobre Angola na primeira metade do século XX, nas vertentes da saúde, da demografia e da emigração, e o colonialismo português coevo. Porém, é muito mais do que isso. Inscrito numa história global que extravasa os quadros nacionais irá, seguramente, afirmar-se como referência na historiografia sobre políticas populacionais na África colonial. Escrita com elegância e clareza, e editada com esmero na coleção “Global Health Histories”, da prestigiada Cambridge University Press, a obra inclui um índice remissivo e um conjunto de mapas, tabelas, reproduções de documentos e imagens que acrescentam informação ao texto e, no caso das fotografias, a presença da experiência humana. Nota-se uma verdadeira articulação entre os seis capítulos, além do encadeamento cronológico, o que ajuda a progressão na leitura e o entendimento dos argumentos do autor. Esses são sintetizados em conclusões parcelares no fim de cada capítulo e numa conclusão geral. Um epílogo remete-nos ao período temporal seguinte, entre o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial e a independência de Angola (1945-75), marcado pelo boom da fixação de colonos brancos e pela persistência da ideia de um vasto e rico território fracamente povoado, quando noutras paragens se adensavam as preocupações com o sobrepovoamento.
