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 \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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Images\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments \u003cbr\u003eInterview Report \u003cbr\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProprioception\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Where Petrol Is Cheaper than Water: Life in \u003cem\u003eCapitalismo selvagem\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Back Story \u003cbr\u003eRepresenting \"Africa\"? \u003cbr\u003eOn Making Sense in the Writing \u003cbr\u003eWhat the Book Is Actually About \u003cbr\u003eHow the Research Was Done \u003cbr\u003eHow to Read This Book \u003cbr\u003eCore Concepts \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInterlude: A Brief History of Angola \u003cbr\u003eIllustrated by Elinor Driver\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSmell\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
