Abaixo os detalhes do livro. Dr Eric Morier-Genoud Lecturer in African and Imperial History, Queen's University Belfast _Sure Road? Nationalisms in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique_ (Leiden: Brill, coll. African Social Studies Series No.28, April 2012) This book brings together new research on the subject of nations and nationalisms in Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. It explores the history and politics of diverse nationalist discourses and ideologies, and it revisits the formation and contemporary developments of national imagined communities in Portuguese-speaking Africa. It does so by drawing on several disciplines and by exploring themes as diverse as Frelimo’s liberation literature, UNITA’s moral economy and the disaggregation of Guinea-Bissau. The authors provide novel insights in the hope of contributing to the academic and public debate on the subject, not least in those countries where, in the face of liberalisation, ruling parties and their opponents have been arguing intensively over, and have sometime struggled to re-invent, a sense of national community. Through their engagement with the subject, authors also make a contribution to the general discussion of the concepts of nations and nationalism Table of contents --------------------- Introduction.
