From Water to Wine explores how Angola has changed since the end of
its civil war in 2002. Its focus is on the middle class-defined as
those with a house, a car, and an education-and their consumption,
aspirations, and hopes for their families. It takes as its starting
point "what is working in Angola?" rather than "what is going
wrong?" and makes a deliberate, political choice to give attention
to beauty and happiness in everyday life in a country that has had
an unusually troubled history. Each chapter focuses on one of the
five senses, with the introduction and conclusion provoking
reflection on proprioception (or kinesthesia) and curiosity.
Various media are employed-poetry, recipes, photos, comics, and
other textual experiments-to engage readers and their senses.
Written for a broad audience, this text is an excellent addition to
the study of Africa, the lusophone world, international
development, sensory ethnography, and ethnographic writing.
