As Angolanas
The Nordic Africa Institute.
2009 (Portuguese)Report (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
Abstract [en]

The first time that I met Angolan women was in 1976 when Ruth Neto and Maria Mambo Café visited Stockholm, gathered by Svenska Kvinnors Vänsterförbund (Women’s Association of the Swedish Left, SKV). In 1978 I received a journalism scholarship by SIDA (Swedish International Development Agency) and spent six weeks in Angola to get acquainted to know the Organization of Angolan Women (OMA, Organizacão de Mulher Angolana). I travelled to Huambo with two OMA officials: Irene Neto, (sister of the first president of the Angolan republic, Augustinho Neto) and Luisa Chongolola. The visit to Angola resulted in a book, jointly written with Hillevi Nilsson of AGIS (The Africa Groups of Sweden) published in Swedish, about the OMA in the form of written testimonies about the role of the Angolan woman. I returned to Angola invited to a congress of the OMA in 1983, and later, in 1990, to work in Luanda for the OMA until 1993. I made joint articles with Idalinda Rodrigues who at that time was an employee of the OMA. Helena Cunha acted as consultant regarding portuguese language. All the articles have been published/appeared in the Jornal de Angola. The photographer Cinquenta of the Jornal de Angola also helped me get to know Luanda well. We tried publishing a book in 1992, but this was not possible due to the reemergence of war in Luanda in the end of October of that year. The texts were written between 1979 and 1992, and AGIS added a chapter in 2006.

Abstract [pt]

A primeira vez que encontrei com mulheres de Angola foi em 1976 quando Ruth Neto e Maria Mambo Café visitaram Estocolmo, convidadas de SKV, Svenska Kvinnors Vänsterförbund (Associação Sueca de Mulheres da Esquerda). Em 1978 recebí uma bolsa de jornalismo da ASDI (Autoridade Sueca para o Desenvolvimento Internacional) e fiquei seis meses em Angola para conhecer a OMA (Organização da Mulher Angolana). Viajei para Huambo com duas funcionarias da OMA: Irene Neto, irmã do primeiro presidente da Republica de Angola, Agustinho Neto, e Luisa Chongolola. A visita em Angola resultou num livro escrito junto com Hillevi Nilsson de GAS (Grupos Africa da Suecia) editado em sueco sobre a OMA com contos do papel da mulher angolana. Voltei à Angola convidada num congresso da OMA em 1983 e depois em 1990 para trabalhar em Luanda na OMA até 1993. Fiz reportagens junto com Idalinda Rodrigues que naquela altura era funcionaria da OMA. Helena Cunha era consultora da lingua portuguesa. Todos esses artigos apareceram no Jornal de Angola. O fotógrafo Cinquenta de Jornal de Angola também me ajudou bem conhecer Luanda. Tentamos fazer um livro em 1992 mas não foi possivel por caso da guerra que recomeçou em Luanda no final de outobro este ano. Os textos foram escritos entre 1979 e 1992. GAS adicionou um capitulo em 2006.
