About<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_column_text]Powerful Frequencies details the central role that radio technology and broadcasting played in the formation of colonial Portuguese Southern Africa and the postcolonial nation-state, Angola. Moorman analyzes the history of Angolan radio as an instrument used by Portuguese settlers, the colonial state, African nationalists, and the postcolonial state. They all used radio to project power, while the latter employed it to challenge empire.<\/p>\n

From the 1930s introduction of radio by settlers, to the clandestine broadcasts of guerrilla groups, to radio\u2019s use in the Portuguese counterinsurgency strategy during the Cold War era and in developing the independent state\u2019s national and regional voice, Powerful Frequencies narrates a history of canny listeners, committed professionals, and dissenting political movements. All of these actors employed radio\u2019s peculiarities\u2014invisibility, ephemerality, and its material effects\u2014to transgress social, political, \u201cphysical,\u201d and intellectual borders. Powerful Frequencies follows radio\u2019s traces in film, literature, and music to illustrate how the technology\u2019s sonic power\u2014even when it made some listeners anxious and frightened\u2014created and transformed the late colonial and independent Angolan soundscape.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”black”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Marissa J.
