This book examines the internal politics of the war that divided
Angola for more than a quarter-century after its independence. It
emphasises the Angolan people's relationship to the rival political
forces that prevented the development of a united nation, an aspect
of the conflict that has received little attention in earlier
studies. Drawing upon interviews with farmers, town dwellers,
soldiers and politicians in Central Angola, Justin Pearce examines
the ideologies about nation and state that elites deployed in
pursuit of hegemony and traces how people responded to these
attempts at politicisation. The book not only demonstrates the
potency of the rival conceptions of state and nation in shaping
perceptions of self-interest and determining political loyalty, but
also shows the ways in which allegiances could and did change for
much of the Angolan population in response to the experience of
military force.
