Cabo Verdean Women Writing Remembrance, Resistance, and Revolution:
Kriolas Poderozas documents the work and stories told by Cabo
Verdean women to refocus the narratives about Cabo Verde on Cabo
Verdean women and their experiences. The contributors examine their
own experiences, the history of Cabo Verde, and Cabo Verdean
diaspora to highlight the commonalities that exist among all women
of African descent, such as sexual and domestic violence and media
objectification, as well as the different meanings these
commonalities can hold in local contexts. Through exploring the
literary and musical contributions of Cabo Verdean women, the Cabo
Verdean state and its transnational relations, food and cooking
traditions, migration and diaspora, and the oral histories of Cabo
Verde, the contributors analyze themes of community, race,
sexuality, migration, gender, and tradition.
In Economic Growth and Democracy in Post-Colonial Africa: Cabo
Verde, Small States, and the World Economy, edited by Joao
Resende-Santos and Aminah Fernandes Pilgrim, the contributors
provide a comprehensive academic analysis of the political economy
of Cabo Verde (Cabo Verde) from its independence in 1975 to the
present. Democracy and economic growth have been in short supply in
post-colonial Africa. Yet the widespread misperception of this vast
and diverse continent as experiencing only failure has overshadowed
cases of good governance, human development, and social peace. This
volume offers a comprehensive analytical narrative on how Cabo
Verde (Cape Verde) forged a nation and navigated the world system
since independence to achieve some progress. The volume critically
examines its political and institutional evolution, foreign
affairs, economy, and development policy. The chapters analyze the
sources and nature of this relative success as well as underscore
the many shortcomings and challenges ahead. As the first volume in
English on Cabo Verde's political economy, it serves as both a
primary source and sociopolitical study, featuring some of the most
accomplished scholars and policy practitioners. This collection
aims to fill this gap in the literature and offers a new
perspective on democracy and growth in post-colonial Africa.

Nantucket's People of Color is a fascinating study of Nantucket's
African population from historical, cultural, and racial
perspectives. While most other Africans were sold into slavery and
bondage, the African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket
worked as free people and established communities and institutions
such as schools and churches. This anthology examines the
relationships that developed between Africans, Quakers, others of
European descent, and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket and the events and
controversies that both united and divided the larger community
along 'racial' lines. This anthology is the culmination of more
than ten years of scholarly research on the culture and history of
Nantucket Island by James Bradford Ames Scholars. The James
Bradford Ames Fellowship Program was established at the University
of Massachusetts Boston to foster research into the history and
culture of African-Americans and Cape Verdeans on Nantucket.
