Decolonization Now
Post–World War II ushered in an era of rapid decolonization across the Global South; a period about which Ghanaian revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah exultantly wrote that European direct rule was “everywhere in retreat.” Still, those anticolonial victories were experienced unevenly across the decolonizing world, often undone by new forms of neocolonial exploitation, rising authoritarianism, and counterinsurgent violence. For many peoples, especially in…

Guerrilla Broadcasters and the Unnerved Colonial State in Angola (1961-74)
This article explores the relationship between Angolan guerrilla broadcasts and their effects on the Portuguese counterinsurgency project in their war to hold on to their African colonies. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA's Angola Combatente ) and National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA's Voz de Angola Livre ) broadcasts allowed these movements to maintain a sonic presence in the Angolan territory from exile and t…
The Civilising Mission of Globalisation
This interview with Cameroonian filmmaker Jean-Marie Teno explores the interchange between historical-cultural conditions and cinematic practice. Central to this discussion is the lingering effect of the colonial past and its ongoing impact on the postcolonial African situation. Teno's work examines how the trauma of colonialism is exacerbated not only by modernity and Western cultural global flows, but also by the complicity of Africanist icons …
Anatomy of Kuduro
Kuduro, meaning "hard-ass" or "in a hard place," is a contemporary genre of music and dance produced and consumed in Angola, especially in Luanda. This article maps kuduro historically and assesses it in its current moment. While the dance is full of invention and the genre has thrived in the informal economy, this alternative expression and the infrastructure it produces cannot be considered politically or economically liberatory. But the intern…

Gender in the Lusophone World
The dynamic state of Lusophone studies was amply demonstrated by the enthusiastic response to the call for papers for this special dossier. Indeed, scholarship on the lusophonic world reflects trends within the academy more broadly, while offering insights grounded in the specificities of the past and present politics of lusophonic spaces. Over one hundred scholars wrote to express an interest in the topic, and over seventy of those submitted pap…

Of Westerns, Women, and War
Today, evidence of cinematic desuetude in Luanda abounds. No films have been produced locally in at least the past thirteen years. Angola's directorial hopefuls Antonio Ole and Rui Duarte de Carvalho have ceased filmic activity, the former for painting and the latter to continue his trajectory as anthropologist and poet. The once thriving cinemas of Luanda's downtown, with revolutionary nationalist names like the Karl Marx Cinema, the First of Ma…
