A Prophetic Trajectory

<p> Combining ethnographic and historical research conducted in Angola Portugal and the United Kingdom <em>A Prophetic Trajectory </em>tells the story of Simão Toko the founder and leader of one of the most important contemporary Angolan religious movements. The book explains the historical ethnic spiritual and identity transformations observed within the movement and debates the politics of remembrance and heritage left behind after Toko's passing in 1984. Ultimately it questions the categories of prophetism and charisma as well as the intersections between mobility memory and belonging in the Atlantic Lusophone sphere.</p>
