ON THE SECTION PERMANENT DOSSIER AGOSTINHO NETO

Main Article Content

Helmut Renders

Abstract

Each edition of KWIJIYA: Angolan Journal of Religion, Theology, Society may incorporate a special section entitled Permanent Dossier Agostinho Neto. We regard this cooperation not only as feasible but also as strategically desirable, insofar as the themes of religion and society decisively permeate the life of Agostinho Neto, both in his poetic dimension and in his political and militant engagement.


This section is affiliated with the Agostinho Neto Chair of the Methodist University of Angola, an institution that will in due course assume responsibility for its editorial management, thereby ensuring the continuity and academic legitimacy of the project. The Permanent Dossier Agostinho Neto is dedicated to publishing studies that investigate the origins, trajectory, oeuvre, and legacy of António Agostinho Neto, while also welcoming critical reflections that contribute to a deeper exploration of the thought and action of this eminent Angolan intellectual and leader.
