Its focus is on the middle class--defined as those with a house, a car, and an education--and their consumption, aspirations, and hopes for their families. It takes as its starting point \"what is working in Angola?\" rather than \"what is going wrong?\" and makes a deliberate, political choice to give attention to beauty and happiness in everyday life in a country that has had an unusually troubled history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter focuses on one of the five senses, with the introduction and conclusion provoking reflection on proprioception (or kinesthesia) and curiosity. Various media are employed--poetry, recipes, photos, comics, and other textual experiments--to engage readers and their senses. Written for a broad audience, this text is an excellent addition to the study of Africa, the lusophone world, international development, sensory ethnography, and ethnographic writing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50314972168429,"sku":"9781487524333","price":54.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/8kmG7baBmK9781487524333.webp?v=1784673365","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/from-water-to-wine-becoming-middle-class-in-angola-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
