      To A Nação, with Love

      The Politics of Language through Angolan Poetry

      • 206 pages
      • 8 hours of reading

      Focusing on the reflections of poets, this study explores the role of the Portuguese language in Angola's nation-building during and after its war of independence. It distinguishes between two phases: the first, during the war, where poets emphasized linguistic unity and identity, and the second, post-war, marked by civil strife, where writers employed postmodern techniques to critique earlier utopian ideals. The essay sheds light on both political and social movements, alongside the evolution of literature in Angola during this transformative period.

    • 2016

      This book addresses all issues relevant to error prevention and safe practice in the acute and emergency health-care setting. It begins with the basic principles of human behavior and decision making and then partitions into three sections where the individual, the team, and the organizational influences within the health-care system are discussed in greater depth. Case reports and proven strategies help to ground psychological theory in daily practice. This book has emerged from a long-standing cooperation between clinicians and psychologists and blends the strengths of both professions into a readily accessible text.
