Stories Set in Angola
Stretching from the Atlantic shoreline to interior plateaus, Angola is a large country in southwestern Africa. Five centuries of Portuguese rule, followed by civil war from 1975 to 2002 fueled by Cold War rivalries, filled stories with exile, memory and return. Another Day of Life reports from that war, while Into the Okavango traces rivers rising in its highlands. Open Angola on the StoryTerra map and filter its stories by any era.
