O volume oferece novas perspectivas sobre o passado de Angola, uma trajetória que transformou a antiga colônia de negociação de escravos em estado-nação moderno. O livro apresenta trabalhos de vanguarda, escritos por onze pesquisadores -- bem eminentes, bem como no meio de carreira ou iniciantes -- que amplamente usam fontes inexploradas ou re-interpretam as mais velhas. J. K. Thornton inaugura a primeira seção, a de Angola entre o Atlântico Sul e o Reino de Lunda, revisitando o assunto de motivações no centro de expansão territorial de Lunda. S. H. Lara reconstrua a odisseia dos príncipes de Ndongo, exilados em Portugal como pessoas "livres", após a Batalha de Pungo Angogo em 1671. C. E. Thompson traça a história de Feliciano José de Barros, um carioca escravo que encontrou seu pai biológico em Benguela, obteve um reconhecimento de paternidade, e entrou no negócio da família -- o tráfico de escravos. A segunda seção aborda o tema da textura social das cidades principais. M. Buri examina as práticas e espaços do enterro de Benguela, na época em que a população escrava e o comércio floresceram durante o final dos 1700s. J. C. Curto oferece uma análise serializada dos casamentos (católicos) no mesmo contexto, em um quadro expandido. V. S. Oliveira aborda o serviço doméstico e as profissões de comércio varejista urbano, em Luanda, apoiadas principalmente por mulheres escravizadas que estavam sempre 'em risco'. T. Lopes traça a história de Jozé Lourenço, para destacar a ascensão sócio-econômica dos exilados portugueses neste espaço urbano, bem como a prisão / punição que infligiram em residentes africanos escravos e "libertos" durante a "lenta decomposição da escravidão". A terceira seção cobre a ascensão de Angola como estado-nação. C. Madeira-Santos desliga histórias imaginárias portuguesas em relação às condições de trabalho em Angola, que disfarçavam um uso constante do trabalho forçado. F. Luce aborda as emaranhadas ligações entre missões Protestantes e UNITA (o terceiro grande 'movimento de libertação' em Angola). M. Menezes Paredes decifra os antecedentes da propensão da Jonas Savimbi para o jogo político e ideológico, enquanto pretendia prosperar como líder da UNITA. J. S. Saul pesquisa as repercussões de 27 de maio de 1977, o famoso golpe de estado, quando o governo MPLA passou de um movimento de libertação para um regime autoritário estrito, que eliminou abruptamente milhares de vozes de oposição. Este livro certamente inspirará pesquisadores das próximas gerações a construir suas próprias abordagens perspicazes.


The volume offers fresh perspectives on Angola’s past, from slaving colony to nation state. It features eleven cutting-edge scholars − established, mid-career and junior − who largely use unexplored sources or re-interpret older ones. J. K. Thornton leads the first section, on Angola between the South Atlantic and the Lunda realm, and re-examines the motives behind Lunda’s expansion. S. H. Lara reconstructs the odyssey of Ndongo princes exiled as “free” persons to Portugal after the 1671 battle of Pungo Andongo. E. C. Thompson tracks Feliciano José de Barros, an enslaved carioca who found his biological father in Benguela, achieved recognition of paternity, and joined the family business − slaving. The second section addresses major slaving town societies. M. Buri looks at burial practices and spaces in Benguela, as the late 1700s population and slave trade boomed. J. C. Curto offers a serialized analysis of (Catholic) marriage in this same landscape, in a later context. V. S. Oliveira delves into domestic service and urban retail trade occupations in Luanda, filled mostly by enslaved females who were always at risk. T. Lopes traces the trajectory of Jozé Lourenço Marques to highlight the socio economic ascent of exiled Portuguese in this urban space and the imprisonment / punishment they inflicted upon enslaved and “freed” African residents during the “slow death of slavery”. The third section focuses on the rise of Angola as a nation state. C. Madeira-Santos dissects Portugal’s fictional narrative of working conditions in Angola, which masked a steady use of forced labour. F. Luce investigates the tangled links between Protestant missions and UNITA (Angola’s third major liberation movement). M. Menezes Paredes teases out the context(s) of Jonas Savimbi’s penchant for political and ideological jousting while he aimed to thrive as the leader of UNITA. J. S. Saul investigates the fallout of the 27 May 1977 coup d’état, when the governing MPLA veered from a liberation movement to an authoritarian regime that silenced thousands of opposition voices. This book will surely inspire younger scholars to construct their own keen-eyed approaches..


Le volume offre de nouvelles perspectives sur le passé de l'Angola, une trajectoire qui a transformé
l'ancienne colonie esclavagiste en état-nation moderne.
Les onze chercheurs en vedette -- éminents, aussi bien qu'au milieu de carrière ou débutants -- utilisent largement des sources inexplorées ou réinterprétent celles déjà bien connues. J. K. Thornton inaugure la première section, sur l'Angola entre l'Atlantique Sud et le Royaume de Lunda, en revisitant le sujet des motivations au centre de l'expansion territoriale de Lunda. S. H. Lara reconstruit l'odyssée des princes de Ndongo exilés au Portugal en tant que personnes "libres" après la bataille de Pungo Andongo en 1671. E. C. Thompson trace l'histoire de Feliciano José de Barros, un carioca esclave qui retrouva son père biologique à Benguela, obtint une reconnaissance de paternité, et entra dans l'entreprise familiale -- le commerce d'esclaves. La deuxième section aborde le thème des sociétés des ville principales. M. Buri examine les pratiques d'inhumation et les espaces de Benguela, au temps la population et le commerce d'esclaves florissaient durant la fin des années 1700. J. C. Curto offre une analyse sérialisée du mariage (Catholique) dans ce même contexte, dans un cadre élargi. V. S. Oliveira s'attaque au service domestique et aux professions du commerce de détail urbain, à Luanda, épaulés principalement par des femmes asservies qui se trouvaient toujours à risque. T. Lopes retrace l'histoire de Jozé Lourenço Marques, pour mettre en évidence l'ascension socio-économique d'exilés portugais dans cet espace urbain, ainsi que l'emprisonnement / punitions qu'ils infligaient à des résidents Africains asservis et "libérés" durant l'époque de la "décomposition lente de l'esclavage". La troisième section couvre la montée de l'Angola comme état-nation. C. Madeira-Santos dissèque les récits imaginaires portugais en ce qui concerne les conditions de travail en Angola, qui déguisaient une utilisation constante du travail forcé. F. Luce étudie les liens enchevêtrés entre les missions Protestantes et l'UNITA (le troisième principal 'mouvement de libération' en Angola ). M. Menezes déchiffre le(s) contexte(s) du penchant de Jonas Savimbi pour la joute politique et idéologique, alors qu'il visait à prospérer en tant que leader de l'UNITA. J. S. Saul enquête sur les retombées du 27 mai 1977, le fameux coup d'état, lorsque le MPLA gouvernemental passa d'un mouvement de libération à un stricte régime autoritaire qui a éliminé brutalement des milliers de voix d'opposition. Ce livre sûrement inspirera des chercheurs des nouvelles générations à construire leurs propres approches sagaces.
