Description
Summary:This work, a product of dialogue with texts written by the guerrilla Deolinda Rodrigues, interrogates how a religio-cultural system identified as Protestantism, home to Angolan nationalist elites, in one of its ramifications – that known as the Methodist family – produced another system of reference that functions within the nationalist movement that some refer to as the MPLA-family. The object of this reflection is to illuminate some avenues of the possible origins of this culture of family and to consider what kind of identity this is, how it is made, what kinds of social practices and cultures produced it, what represents its political expression and what meanings can be extracted from that.
