%X Este artigo procura contribuir para o estudo dos processos hist車ricos que t那m tomado popula  es mu ulmanas como alvos preferenciais da governan a e da an芍lise pol赤ticas. Baseado em documenta  o de arquivos portugueses e franceses, o artigo procura assinalar as mais not車rias representa  es identit芍rias que ide車logos e membros do aparelho colonial portugu那s constru赤ram em torno dos grupos islamicos da Guin谷-Bissau e de Mo ambique, incidindo especialmente nesta 迆ltima col車nia. Tais imagens articularam-se com as estrat谷gias de governa  o das popula  es mu ulmanas num quadro colonialista, sobretudo ap車s a eclos o das guerras coloniais. O artigo defende que a posi  o semiperif谷rica de Portugal no sistema-mundo conferiu 角s suas representa  es e estrat谷gias identit芍rias, nomeadamente 角s que se reportam aos mu ulmanos colonizados, um car芍cter de profunda ambival那ncia1. This article wishes to contribute to the study of the historical processes that have been spotting Muslim populations as favourite targets for political analysis and governance. Based on Portuguese and French archives, the article tries to uncover the most conspicuous identity representations that ideologues and members of Portuguese colonial staff built around the Islamic communities of Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. It shows how those images were related to strategies designed for ruling Muslim populations within the colonialist frame, especially after the outbreak of colonial wars. The main argument of this text is that the semi-peripheral position of Portugal in the world-system gave its identity representations and strategies, namely those regarding colonized Muslims, a character that was deeply ambivalent.
