Describe the development of the prazo system in the zambezi valley in the 16th and17th centuries?
The Prazo system, which began in the early 1500's, was a semi-feudal Portuguese land grant system which was designed to force Portuguese colonists to settle on African lands. The Prazos operated as a fusion of Portuguese and African traditions to create estates which were tied to the Portuguese crown.
Are African masks a type of surrealism?
No. Surrealism is an art movement that originated in Europe in the 1920s. It took a great deal of inspiration from African art, notably masks, as the cubists had done before them. However, most African masks had been made a long time before the 1920s, and any that appeared after would have been part of the African art tradition rather than the surrealist one. So it doesn't make sense to call African masks 'surrealist'.
