The City and the Barracas
Subúrbiosand Cityness
Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, shows profound spatial, social, and economic differentiation built on the legacy of colonial structures of inequality. After Mozambique’s independence from Portugal, the nationalisation of Maputo’s real estate transformed the racial and social landscape of the city, but liberalisation of the economy in the 1990s and the increasing commoditisation of property linked social and economic status more strongly to the…
Engaging, transcending and subverting dichotomies
Historically, while cities such as Mozambique's capital Maputo have been analysed as divided into 'formal 'and 'informal' spaces, contemporary approaches tend to emphasise the heterogeneity and plasticity of African urbanities. Drawing upon original ethnographic material gathered from fieldwork in 2012/2013, we reframe the analysis of such cities through recognition of novel forms of urban imaginaries, emergent narratively, that may take the shap…
Cidadeandbairro
Like other towns that are the product of a colonial history, Angolan towns are usually described in dualist terms that refer to, on the one hand, a ‘centre’ and, on the other, a ‘periphery’. This dualist description of Angolan urban space is expressed in the case of Luanda through the terms of baixa and musseque and in the case of Benguela through cidade and bairro. Even if Angolan towns are in reality more complex and heterogeneous than what thi…
Manuela
Until 2002 and for more than 27 years, Angolans lived through several wars that forced hundreds of thousands of rural people to leave their homes and seek refuge in safer urban areas. This paper tells the story of Manuela and of her family, the Silvas, who fled civil war in the Angolan rural interior to start a displacement journey that would take them to the city of Benguela. Their story provides an example of war displacement but it also shows …
Here in the city, everything has to be paid for’
The following article is a preliminary summary of research carried out for ADRA and the Development Workshop Angola about communities, solidarity and collective action in peri‐urban areas of Angola. Full reports in Portuguese and English will be published as Development Workshop Occasional Papers. The strategies of development organisations in Angola have increasingly focused on ‘strengthening civil society’ and ‘governance’. This is positive, th…
Les “déplacés” en Angola
Alors que de nouveau aujourd’hui, l’Angola pourrait aller vers une cessation des combats, une composante fondamentale du retour à la paix sera sans aucun doute le sort des déplacés, la possibilité qu’ils auront de revenir et de se réinsérer dans leurs régions d’origine. Dans l’approche de cette question, on se heurte à l’absence quasi totale de travaux et d’études allant au-delà des aspects purement quantitatifs. Les données connues ne concernent…
