ksheldon@ucla.edu I have a small database on Mozambique myself, where I did a search on the term "Portuguese East Africa," that turned up only 17 references out of about 2200 citations. Half of those references were in articles by Dora Earthy. Since the whole database is on Mozambique, it would be difficult for me to search on that term as a contrast - presumably nearly all of the other sources used that name rather than PEA. The database is skewed to items I have used, so it isn't complete or inclusive in any way - but it appeared that mainly missionary sources used the PEA term, including one use by H. Junod, and a missionary memoir that was published in 1959 (most of the references were much earlier). The other sources included a British Govt. economic survey from the 1930s and a Terence Ranger article from 1963, but I think it was a term that was rarely used, even by writers in English.
