A 27 de Maio de 1977, uma disputa no seio da direcção do MPLA levou ao massacre de milhares, senão dezenas de milhares, de pessoas. Hoje, esta tragédia praticamente não é mencionada em Angola; no estrangeiro, ninguém sabe sequer da sua existência.

A jornalista Lara Pawson investigou os acontecimentos e considerou‑os em tudo equivalentes «aos massacres ordenados por Robert Mugabe e aos assassínios em massa da ditadura de Pinochet». Neste livro, reuniu inúmeros testemunhos, directos e indirectos, como os de João Van Dúnem (irmão de José, um dos líderes da revolta) ou de actuais membros da elite angolana — Ndunduma Wé Lépi (ex‑director do Jornal de Angola) e Aníbal João da Silva Melo (deputado à Assembleia Nacional pelo MPLA), entre outros.
>
>Entre Londres, Luanda e Lisboa, Pawson conseguiu o que até aqui nunca fora possível: passados 40 anos, vítimas e testemunhas – ainda hoje sob a tensão do medo –, e até mesmo alguns dos carrascos, decidiram falar sobre o massacre, numa série de surpreendentes entrevistas.

Work Description

On 27th May 1977, a small demonstration against the MPLA, the ruling party of Angola - led to the slaughter of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people. These dreadful reprisals are little talked of in Angola today - and virtually unknown outside the country. In this book, journalist Lara Pawson tracks down the story of what really happened in the aftermath of that fateful day. In a series of vivid encounters, she talks to eyewitnesses, victims and even perpetrators of the violent and confusing events of the 27th May and the following weeks and months. From London to Lisbon to Luanda, she meets those who continue to live in the shadow of the appalling events of 40 years ago and who - in most cases - have been too afraid to speak about them before. As well as shedding light on the events of 1977, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of modern Angola - its people and its politics; past, present and future.
