Bay of Tigers: An African Odyssey
by
Mendes, Pedro Rosa,
Mendes,
Landers, Clifford
Portuguese journalist Mendes traveled 6,000 miles across Africa in 1997, from Angola to Mozambique. In Angola, he found himself immersed in a state still rife with violence and unrest, a place littered with landmines, despite the fact Angola became independent in 1974. Mendes writes vividly and compassionately of the people he met, from villagers to soldiers, corrupt government officials to international relief workers. He provides a recounting of Angola's history (including a glossary), and relates his astute observations and the incredible stories told to him by the people he encountered on his difficult journey - one that was ultimately rewarding, because he was able to let the world know about the people of Angola. |
