This book provides a unique historical insight into Angola from the
signing of the Bicesse Accords in 1991 to the Luena Memorandum of
Understanding, which followed the death of Jonas Savimbi in 2002.
Building on his experience of living within Angolan communities,
the author sets out five nationally based perspectives on how
Angolans understood the causes of the conflict that so devastated
their country, and of how they felt the conflict could have been
resolved by alternate means.Individual chapters explore what the
author terms the 'peace narratives' of the Churches, media, civil
society, local communities and healers, and traditional
authorities. These chapters outline nationally based perspectives,
largely absent within the international literature on Angola. From
a theoretical perspective, the book breaks new ground in using the
public sphere work of J rgen Habermas alongside a civil society
analysis, to understand and set out the spatial issues that
underpinned national peace narratives. Understanding this space is
crucial for appreciating the challenges faced by those working for
peace from within Angolan society.
