2) Literature that treats the massacre of 1953, often referred to as the massacre of Batepa;
3) Fernando de Macedo and his poetry and drama of the Angolar people, the only written literature on the Angolares, a fascinating people—Sao Tome’s Maroons. The work concludes with an appendix of 23 poems from Sao Tome and Principe
