The Rise and Fall of José Eduardo dos Santos
Head of state for 38 years, still one of the longest-serving people in power on the African continent, he ruled Angola for nearly four decades, overcoming a brutal civil war and overseeing an oil boom. Known within his MPLA party as "the architect of peace," the peaceful José Eduardo has seen his legacy increasingly tarnished by allegations of rampant corruption and nepotism, particularly after the fighting ended in the southwest African country in 2002. Considered by many untouchable, Angolans were shocked when he left office before elections in 2017 and even more so when his handpicked successor, João Lourenço, allegedly turned on him, waging an anti-corruption campaign that would land Dos Santos' son in jail and see assets linked to his daughter frozen. In this this book, we cover the life story and legacy of José Eduardo Dos Santos.
Angola
The African nation of Angola has faced more than its share of conflict, originally colonized by Portugal in the sixteenth century and then embattled by a civil war that began in 1975 and lasted for almost thirty years. Today, Angola is a combination of African and Portuguese culture, and as the second-largest oil producer in Africa, its economy continues to grow. This comprehensive volume takes readers on a trip through the nation of Angola, delving into its history and exploring its modern culture, economy, government, and natural features and wildlife. It includes maps, colorful photographs, and engaging sidebars to guide readers through this fascinating country.
Leaders for a new Africa
Political leadership can be a crucial ingredient for the development of sub-Saharan Africa. The region has been going through important transformations, with both political landscapes and economic trajectories becoming increasingly diverse. The changes underway include the role of leadership and its broader impact. This volume argues that, on the whole, African leaders and the way they reach power generally do contribute to shaping their countries' progresses and achievements. It also zooms in on some influential African leaders who recently emerged in key states across the continent, illustrating and explaining the individual paths that brought them to power while reflecting on the prospects for their governments' actions. Far from the simplistic stereotypes of immovable, ineffective and greedy rulers, the resulting picture reveals dynamic and rapidly evolving political scenarios with key implications for development in the region.

Utopias of Otherness
