Cubans in Angola
On the Way to the Ancestors
Chocolate Islands
In Chocolate Islands: Cocoa, Slavery and Colonial Africa, Catherine Higgs offers new insights into the question of slavery and forced labor in Portuguese colonial central Africa. This issue first s
Njinga of Angola
One of history's most multifaceted rulers but little known in the West, Queen Njinga rivaled Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great in political cunning and military prowess. Today, she is revered in Angola as a heroine and honored in folk religions. Her complex legacy forms a crucial part of the collective memory of the Afro-Atlantic world
Mbanza Kongo/São Salvador
Since it is necessary to write many times about the city of São Salvador ... Your Excellency should not be led to believe that it is a city like those of Europe; I have no doubt that in the past it was a lot better, given the ruins that exist. Introduction During the early decades of the Atlantic slave trade, slaving ports located on the Atlantic coast of Africa and localities far removed from the coast served as centers of trade as well as cultu…
Canniball Negroes,” Atlantic Creoles, and the Identity of New England’s Charter Generation
In the early seventeenth century, New England merchants were heavily involved in privateering raids on Spanish and Portuguese shipping in the Caribbean and in capturing slave ships, almost entirely sent from Angola. Knowing the specific background and historical events in Angola allows us to solve a number of mysterious appearances, such as Imbangala (“canniball negroes”) raiders, and a “queen” who was probably a member of the Kongo-Ndongo nobili…
Kongo and Dahomey, 1660–1815
Slavery and Its Transformation in the Kingdom of Kongo
Studies of slavery in Africa during the period of the Atlantic slave trade have largely ignored questions of how political processes affected enslavement during the period and also the extent to which notions of who could be enslaved were modified. Documentation for the kingdom of Kongo during the 1500s to 1800 allows us to explore how the trade was sustained and the social and political dynamics behind it. In a state that consistently exported l…
Enslaving Spirits
Recreating Africa
Exploring the cultural lives of African slaves in the early colonial Portuguese world, with an emphasis on the more than one million Central Africans who survived the journey to Brazil, James Sweet lifts a curtain on their lives as Africans rather than incipient Brazilians. Focusing first on the cultures of Central Africa from which the slaves came - Ndembu, Imbangala, Kongo and others - Sweet identifies specific cultural rites and beliefs that s…
Portuguese into African
INTRODUCTION This essay argues that the process of religious interpenetration that John Thornton described in the previous chapter was visible in other aspects of central African culture as well, and that this dynamic continued to characterize Afro-Portuguese relations during the eighteenth century. It contends that by the beginning of the eighteenth century, a Creole culture had emerged in Portuguese Angola and Benguela and was undergoing signif…
Central Africans and Cultural Transformations in the American Diaspora
This book, first published in 2001, sets out a paradigm that increases our understanding of African culture and the forces that led to its transformation during the period of the Atlantic slave trade and beyond, putting long over-due emphasis on the importance of Central African culture to the cultures of the United States, Brazil, and the Caribbean. Focusing on the Kongo/Angola culture zone, the book illustrates how African peoples re-shaped the…
Contested Power in Angola, 1840s to the Present
The Angolan‐Afro‐Brazilian cultural connections
Towards an understanding of modern political ideology in Africa
In 1992, several national newspapers in America and Europe ran headline stories which accused Jonas Savimbi, the leader of UNITA, the nationalist movement which had been locked in a vicious civil war with the MPLA-PT government of Angola, of conducting witchcraft trials and burnings of witches at his liberation base at Jamba. The revelations, provided by two high-ranking defectors from UNITA, caused an outcry among both critics and supporters, wi…

Unita and Ethnic Nationalism in Angola
Over the last decade or so scholars in the social sciences have been reassessing works on the rise of nationalism in Africa published in the 1960s and early 1970s. These earlier studies, written during the euphoria following independence and the spread of liberation ideology, regarded the transfer of power to the African élite as signalling the end of subjugation to European control and the emergence of modern African states.1This revision focuse…
African Fiscal Systems as Sources for Demographic History
In evaluating statistical information found in reports of European travellers, historians have not paid sufficient attention to the possibility that African states possessed reasonably competent fiscal systems. This is demonstrated by a study of the demographic information about the central highlands of Angola collected in the 1850s by the Hungarian traveller Lázló Magyar, who probably used oral fiscal records about the numbers of villages in the…

Angola
The growth and decline of African agriculture in central Angola, 1890-1950
Within the last decade or so, historians have devoted considerable attention to problems of economic development of areas of colonial Africa where large European settler communities developed. The most recent studies of these areas have highlighted the continuity and diversity among African agricultural producers despite the land and labour demands of settler sectors as well as the constraints on the production of African smallholders imposed by …
