This article aims to contribute to strengthening our understanding of a subject still little explored in Portuguese academy, the censorship under Salazarism, through the study of its action in the colonies. It proposes a problematizing synthesis of censorship in the Empire, in order to assess its impact and to accomplish a more complex portrait of the Portuguese public sphere under dictatorship. Official censorship is characterized from three relevant axes: origins and evolution; justification, institutionalization and profile; major political, socio‑cultural and mental impacts. The comparative approach
will allow to realize to what extent the possible similarities and differences in institutional structures created by similar authoritarian regimes had relations with genealogy, the ideological profile and the type of impact created.
