Extractions: Self-Determination Conflict Profile Angola By Thomas Turner OVangola.pdf Angola's ethnic conflicts are products of a double colonization. The arrival of the Portuguese in the 15th century inaugurated four centuries of informal colonialism, during which Angola exported slaves to Brazil. In the hinterland, Africans sold slaves to traders acting as intermediaries for Luanda's Creole merchants (generally Portuguese-speaking, mixed race, Catholic). With formal colonization, beginning late in the 19th century, the Creoles became mere adjuncts to the new Portuguese colonial masters. Africans of the hinterland, compelled to work by colonial laws, could produce cash crops or hire themselves out as laborers in Portuguese agricultural or commercial concerns, of which the most successful were the coffee plantations in the Kongo area. Those Kongo who did not work on the plantations migrated to the Belgian Congo while some became successful business owners. The Ovimbundu had to seek employment on the coffee plantations, since their agricultural economy of the central highlands was too weak to sustain their large population. By the 1950s, there were two deeply frustrated, opposed social groups: the weakened Creole elites and the black Africans of the interior, poor and uneducated. The Mbundu living east of Luanda were a partial exception in that they were accustomed to interaction with the Creoles.

Extractions: (Source: Academia Jangada) So, wherever a capoeirista is born is where he grows up. He must have learned the art of capoeira in whichever country for which he is prepared to fight and where he would like to die. So does capoeira, as in the song, come from Bahia, in northwest Brazil? Another ladainha seems to confirm this, singing of Bahia, capital city Salvador, and capoeira in the opening lines. Bahia, nossa Bahia (Source: Academia Jangada) Africans brought capoeira to Brazil, so capoeira comes from Africa. It is clear that these Africans were slaves, as heard in the texts of many other songs, telling, for example, of an unknown black man who could be a slave, in another song of a mistress' nego who costed hard-earned money and who taught mandinga. So this far we know from the songs that the art of capoeira comes from African slaves. Another song leads us to speculate that capoeira, if not originating from Angola, definitely existed there. It was practiced by Angolan slaves, since this song speaks not merely of capoeira, rather specifically of "Capoeira Angola". In this song a woman is mourning her husband, who went to the harbor to "play Capoeira Angola":

Extractions: Find books related to Capoeira In the 15th and 16th Centuries, Africans were taken from their homelands and thrown into ships that carried them away to the new lands recently discovered by the great European powers of the era. After arriving they were kept like cattle; slaves were branded with red-hot irons and housed in crowded, infectious slave quarters, this places were called "SENZALAS". In the "age of great discoveries" slaves were a valuable commodity. After days of intensive work, exhausted, these slaves were gathered into their quarters, receiving poor rations of food, becoming extremely undernourished and sick. Back to top Mestre Bimba was born Manoel dos Reis Machado on November 23, 1899 in Engenho Velho de Brotas, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, one of several sons of Luiz Candido Machado and Maria Martinha do Bonfim. A bet by his mother at his birth is how he got the name "Bimba," a popular Bahian name for a boy's penis. His father was a champion of "batuque," a type of fighting brought by Africans during their enslavement in Brazil. At 12 years old, Mestre Bimba was initiated in capoeira at the Estrada das Boiadas, today known as Liberdade, in Salvador. His mestre was an African known as Bentinho, captain of a shipping company called the Companhia de Navegacao Bahiana.

The agency had been distributing boxes of teaching aids and equipment, but there was no resource material or guidelines for teacher training, nor for the teaching of basic reading, writing and mathematics. In order to consider the possible use of the UNESCO-PEER programme called Teacher Emergency Package, TEP, a feasibility study was undertaken by the expert. It was recommended to UNICEF to seek co-operation with UNESCO-PEER and UNHCR. The latter initially asked NRC to undertake emergency education projects in the provinces of Uige, Zaire and Moxico. The Angolan Ministry of Education agreed to mandate three of their experienced staff, to working on the adaptation of a TEP for Angola. I.1 Development of a TEP for Angola

Extractions: The first group of African slaves arrived in Brasil in 1537. These slaves were brought from Africa by the Portuguese explorers to work on the Brazilian's sugar cane plantations developed the art in the work free hours left to them, thus training both mind and body for combat situations. As the slave-masters forbade any kind of martial art, it was cloaked in the guise of an innocent-looking recreational dance. In the 16th century, escaped-slaves founded a number of "Quilombos" , in which the art of Capoeira was further perfected. Many escaped-slaves, before they could reach the Quilombos, were captured by the "Capitão-do-mato" that ironically were sometimes African decedents or mulatos themselves. The "Capitão-do-mato" were hired by the Portuguese slavers and usually worked on their own. The inhabitants of Palmares, the largest of the Quilombos, lasted 65 years. The "Quilombo dos Palmares" was located in what is today's state of Alagoas, northeast Brazil. Its population was composed not only of escaped African slaves but also of native Brazilian Indians and other mixed races(Mestiços). It had an organized government system similar to an African Kingdom with a King and his Assembly. The best warriors on battles were chosen King; "Zumbi" was the most known King of all. The "Quilombo dos Palmares" fought for many years and was finally destroyed in 1694 by Domingos Jorge Velho and his troops. "Zumbi" managed to escape and many believed that he was immortal. Wanted by the authorities, he was captured on November 20th, 1695. He was killed and beheaded on the spot. His head was brought to a public Plaza at the "vila do Recife". "Zumbi" was considered a national hero and warrior, a symbol of liberty ; his name became a Capoeira legend. Capoeira was used not only in direct combat, it also inspired the battle strategy itself; feigning retreat, thus luring the over-confident enemy into remote territories only to strike back at an unsuspecting place and time.

Extractions: United States The Portuguese language, which evolved from spoken Latin, developed on the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula (now Portugal and the Spanish province of Galicia) included in the province the Romans called Lusitania. When the Romans invaded the peninsula in 218 B.C., the people living in the region adopted Latin, the Roman's language. From then until the ninth century, all spoke Romance, a language representing an intermediate stage between vulgar or common Latin and modern Latin languages, which include Portuguese, Castilian, French and Galician. From 409 AD to 711, the Portuguese vocabulary adopted many new words used by invading Germanic tribes. Among these were roubar (to steal), guerrear (to wage war), and branco (white). The effects of the Germanic migrations on the spoken language was not uniform and broke the linguistic uniformity of the peninsula. Over a period of time, this rupture led to a differentiation of the regional languages. Beginning in 711, when the Moors conquered the Iberian Peninsula, Arabic became the official language, although the vast majority of the population continued to speak Romance. Arabic words that entered the Portuguese language during the Moor occupation included

CHIDZOMBA ñ CHAIRMAN OF SMALLL ENTERPRISE PROMOTION ADVISORY COUNCIL [SEPAC] AUGUST 7-10, 2002 ñ LUANDA ANGOLA Thank you Mr. Chairman, Government officials of the Republic of Angola, FES representative, President FACE, distinguished participants from the region, ladies and gentleman; I bring you greetings from the SMEs from Zimbabwe. Theyíre all alive, well and thriving under a challenging social, political and economic environment. I would like to thank Friedrich Ebert Foundation for organising what I consider to be an important seminar in the history and life of SMEs in Angola. I am delighted to have this opportunity as Chairman of SEPAC to present the experience of SEPAC to distinguished participants here in Angola and those from the SADC region at this important seminar on promotion of SMEs in Angola. We have been missing Angola from all the SEPAC activities. Last year in November we organised a regional conference in Harare, which looked at the implications of the ACP/EU Cotonou Agreement on SMEs. I tried in vain through the Embassy of Angola in Zimbabwe to get three participants from Angola to attend this conference. Eventually an embassy official attended on your behalf. I hope today I will be able to get names of official representatives of SMEs in Angola to who are interested in joining the SEPAC family and serve in the working groups. I was asked rather at short notice to talk about our experience on regional networking of SMEs ñ the case of SEPAC.
