Angola Janga
Angola Janga | Marcelo d'Salete
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
An independent kingdom of runaway slaves founded in the late 16th century, Angola Janga was a beacon of freedom in a land plagued with oppression. In stark black ink and chiaroscuro panel compositions, D’Salete brings history to life; the painful stories of fugitive slaves on the run, the brutal raids by Portuguese colonists, and the tense power struggles within this precarious kingdom. At turns heartbreaking and empowering, Angola Janga sheds light on a long-overlooked moment of resistance against oppression.

Mehso-so

The book often switched from the main story to flashbacks with no indication, and so at first it felt like a series of short stories. By the time I realized everything was part of a full narrative, I lost track of the different characters, and I felt like I was never fully engaged with the story because I kept losing the thread. Some of the wordless sequences, though, are excellent and an important story is conveyed.
