Twenty years after independence, Angola has known only one year of peace, making its war the most protracted and destructive in the world. Yet this tragedy rarely makes news. A remarkably diverse group of people - including the warring parties themselves - came together in Cambridge to address this issue.
This book records their ideas and passions in an animated form which captures the drama of the conference itself. We learned to find agreement in difference, arriving at consenses through an urgent appeal for peace. And in this way we briefly became a microcosm of the universal struggle for a new politics, a politics of affection rather than division and opposition. There is no greater symbol of this need than the suffering of the Angolan people. That is why Angola matters.
