O quase fim do mundo, romance futurista do angolano PEPETELA, inicia-se em Calpe, cidade fictícia em algum ponto da África, entre as regiões Central e Austral, onde um grupo de pessoas sobrevive a um evento apocalíptico de origem desconhecida. O médico Simba Ukolo, ao voltar para casa após um dia de trabalho, presencia um clarão que ilumina todo o céu. Na sequência, toda a vida na terra é aniquilada, sobrando apenas as roupas das pessoas, algumas plantas e poucos animais. Aos poucos, Simba percebe que não está só e um grupo de sobreviventes, de origens e perfis diversos, começa a se formar: uma senhora religiosa, uma adolescente, uma pesquisadora americana, um aviador sul-africano, um curandeiro etíope, uma historiadora somali, um ladrão, um mecânico, um pescador, uma criança. A narrativa é cativante, com personagens complexas e com a África como o lugar simbólico do renascer da humanidade.

Talvez as causas se conheçam depois, mas o que importa é a existência de alguns seres, aturdidos pelo desaparecimento de tantos, e procurando sobreviver. É sobre estes sobreviventes e as suas reacções, desejos, frustrações mas também pequenas/grandes vitórias que trata este romance. Detalhe importante: o recanto do mundo que escapou à hecatombe situa-se numa desgraçada zona da desgraçada África. O que permitirá questionar as relações contemporâneas no velho Mundo.

Apocalyptic Projections have been pondered since Biblical times. Theories abounded in an attempt to prepare for calamity and plan for the future. Worldwide concern regarding a twenty-first century apocalypse, related to the 2012 Mayan Apocalyptic prediction, sparked renewed interest. Even though the concept of apocalypse evokes images of total oblivion, threads of possibility and redemption offer a potential fabric of hope. The majority of the papers included in Apocalyptic Projections were p ...

O DESEJO DE KIANDA, romance do escritor angolano Pepetela, foi publicado originalmente em 1995. A ação se desenvolve em 1994, numa Angola marcada por sequelas da guerra civil. O cenário é a cidade de Luanda, em meio ao caos que faz parte da vida de todos. O romance se inicia com o desmoronamento de um prédio no dia do casamento de João Evangelista com CCC (Carminha Cara de Cu). Outros desmoronamentos se sucedem sem aparente motivo, alterando o ritmo de vida dos habitantes da cidade. Com uma linguagem ao mesmo tempo crítica e irônica, Pepetela nos traz Kianda, espírito que vive em todas as águas – mar, lagos e rios. Kianda é personagem determinante nessa história em que tradições angolanas e atualidade política e econômica são retratadas com maestria e sensibilidade. O DESEJO DE KIANDA (2021) é o quarto livro do autor que a Kapulana lança no Brasil. A editora publicou O cão e os caluandas (2019), O quase fim do mundo (2019) e Sua Excelência, de corpo presente (2020).

Angola, slowly recovering from a twenty-seven year civil war, is becoming a regional super-power in southern Africa. This rise can be attributed to oil, diamonds, a battle-tested armed forces and a political system that is dominated by one party – the Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola (the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola – MPLA). Problems remain to be solved. The vast wealth is in the control of the elite while the vast majority of the people live on less than two dollars per day. Corruption is rife, the health and education system in shambles, landmines remain a festering problem and the opposition is intimidated and split into various factions. President Eduardo dos Santos, who has ruled Angola for almost thirty-eight years, has opted not to run for re-election in the August 2017 elections. Instead his hand-picked successor João Lourenço was elected president. Interestingly, dos Santos has not surrendered his presidency of the party. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Angola contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Angola.

Rediscover the diversity of modern African literatures with this authoritative resource edited by a leader in the field How have African literatures unfolded in their rich diversity in our modern era of decolonization, nationalisms, and extensive transnational movement of peoples? How have African writers engaged urgent questions regarding race, nation, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality? And how do African literary genres interrelate with traditional oral forms or audio-visual and digital media? A Companion to African Literatures addresses these issues and many more. Consisting of essays by distinguished scholars and emerging leaders in the field, this book offers rigorous, deeply engaging discussions of African literatures on the continent and in diaspora. It covers the four main geographical regions (East and Central Africa, North Africa, Southern Africa, and West Africa), presenting ample material to learn from and think with. A Companion To African Literatures is divided into five parts. The first four cover different regions of the continent, while the fifth part considers conceptual issues and newer directions of inquiry. Chapters focus on literatures in European languages officially used in Africa -- English, French, and Portuguese -- as well as homegrown African languages: Afrikaans, Amharic, Arabic, Swahili, and Yoruba. With its lineup of lucid and authoritative analyses, readers will find in A Companion to African Literatures a distinctive, rewarding academic resource. Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in literary studies programs with an African focus, A Companion to African Literatures will also earn a place in the libraries of teachers, researchers, and professors who wish to strengthen their background in the study of African literatures.

In the year 2020, what we used to think that our habits have been profoundly disrupted. Lockdown still represents an unprecedented experience for all of those who went through it since it radically affected our freedom of movement and social interaction, that used to make up our everyday lives. Some people believe that once the pandemic ends, nothing will be the same. Others think that once the virus becomes weaker or a vaccine is at our disposal and the fear is diminished, everything will go back to normal because the mechanism of habit is in many ways similar to the mechanisms of nature, reiterating the uniformity of its functioning. Who is right then? Both positions, perhaps. When philosophers addressed the issue of customs, namely collective habits, generally emphasized the caution required when it comes to changing them and if we look back on history... Could pandemics affect shared habits in specific territories as ultimately generated in reaction to other natural risks and/or to their threats?
