Since the end of its crippling 27-year civil war over a decade ago, Angola has changed almost beyond recognition. An oil-fuelled bonanza has brought about massive foreign investment & a fabulously wealthy new elite, making its capital, Luanda, the second most expensive city in the world. Today, fortunes are being made & lost overnight, & rich Angolans are eagerly buying up the assets of its former coloniser, Portugal. Fascinated by this complex nation, perched at the forefront of a resurgent Africa, writer Daniel Metcalfe travelled to Angola to explore the country for himself. Ebullient & proud, & often unwilling to dwell on its past, Angola has a large army, a hunger for wealth & a need to prove itself on the continent. But as Metcalfe also discovers, it has some of the most grinding poverty in Africa as few Angolans have reaped the rewards of the peace. Nonetheless, amid Angola's brash reality, Metcalfe finds there is a place for a traveller who isn't there to make a quick buck. Crossing the country as ordinary Angolans do, talking to tribal elders, oil workers, mine clearers & street children, he encounters a place of extremes, where cynicism & excess go h&-in-hand with great hospitality & ingenuity. Metcalfe also reveals a colourful history of pirates & slave traders, capuchin monks, syncretic Christian cults & elaborate spirit masks. This is an Angola that symbolises nothing less than a broader turning point between the continents, the repositioning of the rich developed world versus Africa. It is a land that, until now, few outsiders have managed to unlock. ...
