Notes
General Note
"This is not the history of Palmares, only a history of it. Just one possibility for interpreting and reimagining events....This work, for its part, attempts to present the narrative from the Palmaristas's point of view. Fiction has a significant role in that effort."--P. 415, Author's afterword.
Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references (pages 425-426).
Description
"An independent kingdom of runaway slaves founded in the late 16th century, Angola Janga was a beacon of freedom in a land plagued with oppression. In stark black ink and chiaroscuro panel compositions, D'Salete brings history to life: the painful stories of fugitive slaves on the run, the brutal raids by Portuguese colonists, and the tense power struggles within this precarious kingdom. At turns heartbreaking and empowering, Angola Janga sheds light on a long-overlooked moment of resistance against oppression."--Provided by publisher.
Language
In English; translated from the Portuguese.
