Based on research in 1996-1997 in Angola, mainly by Angolan researchers, this book examines how rural and peri-urban communities have been affected by war, displacement and the many other changes of the colonial and post-colonial period. Contents: Overview (Paul Robson); Angola: the historical context for reconstruction (Maria de Conceição Neto); Rural communities in Huambo (Fernando Pacheco); A life of improvisation: displaced people in Malanje and Benguela (Filomena Andrade, with Paulo de Carvalho and Gabriela Cohen); Communities and community institutions in Luanda (P. Robson).
Development Workshop is a non-profit organisation working to improve living conditions for the poor in less developed communities.
