Angola. The Land Offered by Portugal to the Jews for Colonisation



Summary

The book features a foreword, a bibliography and a map, and it is organised into thematic chapters. In the foreword, the author addresses the prevalence of misinformation surrounding Angola, a Portuguese colony in Africa. Iurovetskii suggests that Angola might hold significance as a potential home for the Jewish population of Europe. The primary purpose of the book is to present readers with unbiased information sourced from scientifically validated references about Angola. Starting from fundamental details such as the country’s dimensions, borders, and surface, the book goes on to describe its climate, flora, fauna, and population. Subsequently, the author delves into the historical, political, and economic aspects of contemporary Angola, culminating in a discussion of its industrial and commercial situation.
