Luanda — A new book by angolan writer, Joao Maiomona titled "as Colheitas do Senhor Governador" ( The Governor harvests) is to be launced Tuesday at a ceremony in the Angolan Writers' Association.

Talking about Maiomona's new book, brazilian university lecturer, Tindó Ribeiro Secco, said that the work is divided in three acts of three scenarios each in which several characters dramatize power relations and kinship structures that can be interpreted as allegorical or

critical representations not only from the angolan context as also of other societies in the contemporary world governed by the logic of market economy.

According to the brazilian lecturer, the book criticizes the evils of globalization, stressing that it encourages the poverty of many, decreasing their survival conditions while enriching only a few privileged.

The book, mr Secco said, paints a picture of an unnamed corrosive nation of the current globalized world, where it bocomes increasingly necessary to recover the place and origin of beauty which is relected in the valuation of arts, culture, education and the construction of new poetic citizenships.
