Abstract
The Portuguese colonial legislation summarized in the segregating measures of the Colonial Act of 1930, the year that inaugurated Salazar's dictatorship in Portugal after the 1926 military coup, had unavoidable consequences. Our goal is to demonstrate the importance of this political measure through the journalistic production of the Goan intellectuality, that is, the political culture that arose from the clash between the defenders of the regime and those who advocated solutions of freedom and democracy in autonomy or independence. After a comprehensive Goan press survey, the choice of a special issue of O Anglo-Lusitano to present as historical foundation in this study was due to the fact that owing to its broad spectrum of cultural and political participation, it served as medium for ascertaining the existence of a crossroad of visions of the imperial whole, in the construction of intellectual networks of opposition and resistance, both from Goa and exile, enunciating the end of the Portuguese empire.

The Colonial Act was the first constitutional law that come into force after the 1926 military coup in Portugal at the start of Salazar’s dictatorship and aimed to institute two things: an organic relationship of submission of the colonies to the metropole and the stabilisation of the difference between first class citizenship for people from metropole, and a colonial second class citizenship for assimilated natives subject to the same duties but without the same rights
What was the cultural impact of the colonial act of 1930 in the Portuguese empire seen from a Goan vision? It is a study yet to be done, both locally and globally, and which this article proposes itself to introduce and debate
