  • Journey 1: Part II: Angola: Episode 8: See You Later, Angola!
    Dec 12 2024

    Time to say “See you later, Angola”! The last episode of my Angolan journey is a brief recap of the journey’s expectations, what was learned, what remains to be covered (if anything), and the challenges encountered in this journey.

    And after all that reading, "what comes next?" You may ask. The Angola glocalizing series! Stay tuned!

  • Journey 1: Part II: Angola: Episode 7: Book 6: Along an African Border: Angolan Refugees and their Divination Baskets by Sonia Silva

    In Episode 7 of the reading journey through the first country in Africa I go over some of the cultural aspects in the divination practice of the Luvale, one of Angola's many ethnic groups. In addition, I reveal details about the next episode and when to expect the Angola glocalizing episodes.

  • Journey 1: Part II: Angola: Episode 6: Book 5: Magnificent and Beggar Land: Angola Since the Civil War by Ricardo Soares de Oliveira
    Oct 3 2024

    Book 5 of this journey through Angola was not what I thought it would be about. Although that's the case, it doesn't mean that a great opportunity to learn about Angola's history and culture is not provided through its actual content. It almost feels like that was meant to be. To many degrees the author expands on issues that I touched on in the episode on Book 1, such as Angolan identity.


    The title and question of the 6th (and final!) book in this journey are revealed towards the end of this episode.


    By the way, do I say "colonial" or "colloquial" when discussing an expression in the "What did you google" segment of the Encore? My accent may have gotten the best of me there. If you hear "colonial" know that I meant "colloquial."
