Rattling the Bars's Mansa Musa explores how a one-woman play, The Peculiar Patriot, reveals the human cost of mass incarceration and the enduring ties between slavery and the prison system. The artist behind the play, Liza Jessie Peterson, has worked with incarcerated youth for decades, bringing their stories to the stage and to national audiences. Performed in more than 35 US prisons and filmed at Louisiana's Angola Prison—once a plantation, now a maximum-security facility—the play became the basis of the documentary, Angola: Do You Hear Us? (Paramount Plus / Amazon Prime). As the fight for abolition and prison reform gains momentum, this story reminds us that art is not decoration—it's a tool for awakening, organizing, and freedom.

Explores forgotten solidarity with African liberation struggles through the life of Black Chicagoan Prexy Nesbitt. For many civil rights activists, the Vietnam War brought the dangers of US imperialism and the global nature of antiracist struggle into sharp relief. Martha Biondi tells the story of one such group of activists who built an internationalist movement in Chicago committed to liberation everywhere but especially to ending colonialism and apartheid in Africa. Among their leaders was Prexy Nesbitt. Steeped from an early age in stories of Garveyism and labor militancy, Nesbitt was powerfully influenced by his encounters with the exiled African radicals he met in Dar es Salaam, London, and across the United States. Operating domestically and abroad, Nesbitt's cohort worked closely with opponents of Portuguese and white minority rule in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa. Rather than promoting a US conception of Black self-determination, they took ideas from African anticolonial leaders and injected them into US foreign policy debates. The biography of a man but even more so of a movement, We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt and the Fight for African Liberation (U California Press, 2025) reveals the underappreciated influence of a transformative Black solidarity project.

After years of Chinese investment in Africa, the West is fighting back. Through the Lobito Corridor project, the US and European countries are investing billions in Angola's Benguela Railway, which runs from southern Africa's interior to Angola's Atlantic coast. The aim is to build a quick and reliable supply chain to export African minerals to the West. These minerals power the chips in all our gadgets, so they are pivotal in the US's tussle with China. Plus, the project promises huge economic gains for Angola. Marcia Veiga takes the train to find out if ordinary Angolans will benefit, or if it is another case of foreign powers extracting African resources for their own gain.

Nova lei de estrangeiros torna a vida de imigrantes mais difícil em Portugal. Presidente alemão chegou ontem à Angola. E a vida volta gradualmente à normalidade na Tanzania após protestos violentos.

MPLA cada vez menos tolerante a vozes críticas à liderança do partido, afirmam analistas. Vamos em direto até Luanda onde João Lourenço encontrou-se hoje com o Presidente alemão, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Em Portugal, nova lei de estrangeiros torna mais difícil a vida dos imigrantes.

Angola celebra 50 anos de independência e a sua história pode ouvir-se no Semba, através do ritmo que denunciou o colonialismo, uniu o país e continua a pulsar nas novas gerações. Para o antropólogo André Castro Soares, o Semba é “um testemunho histórico e político”, uma expressão da dor, da festa e da esperança de um povo que, mesmo entre guerras e desafios, nunca deixou de dançar pela liberdade.  Angola assinala na próxima semana 50 anos de independência, a 11 de Novembro, meio século de caminhos cruzados entre a esperança, a reconstrução e os desafios de um país que continua a reinventar-se. Desde 1975, a música tem sido uma das mais fiéis testemunhas da história angolana: um espaço onde se escutam as memórias da luta, as vozes da resistência e as novas sonoridades que dão forma à identidade contemporânea. O antropólogo português André Castro Soares, autor da tese “Semba enquanto património material, políticas e imagens e sonoridades da cultura em Angola”, tem dedicado a sua investigação a compreender esse percurso. Para ele, “o Semba não é apenas uma expressão artística, mas um testemunho histórico e político capaz de revelar as múltiplas camadas da vida angolana desde 1975 até hoje”. Ao olhar para os 50 anos de independência, André Castro Soares defende que a história de Angola pode ser lida através das suas canções. “É o Semba que vai, de alguma forma, denunciar a presença colonial e o jugo colonial, sobretudo a partir dos anos 60 e 61. 61 é um ano horríbilis do governo do Estado Novo de Salazar”, recorda. Foi nesse momento que começou a guerra colonial, e “esse movimento vai ser acompanhado pelos músicos, pelos que começam, de forma encapotada, a lançar as suas mensagens, aquilo que chamo na minha tese de recados, para que a população se juntasse à luta pela independência fora do jugo colonial português”. Entre esses músicos, destaca-se Liceu Vieira Dias, figura central na génese do nacionalismo musical. “O grande autor, o grande pensador e poeta dessas sonoridades foi, sem dúvida, Liceu Vieira Dias, que com a música Feiticeira, isso está bem descrito num filme de Jorge António, vai, de forma encapotada, anunciar a forma como o poder colonial podia ser combatido”, explica o antropólogo. “Essa música Muxima, coração, vai marcar sonoramente esse período”, acrescenta, sublinhando que outras canções, como Umbi Umbi, exprimem esse mesmo sentimento de resistência e de dor. “O Muxima é o mais emblemático”, afirma Castro Soares. “É um lamento. O Semba tem várias formas, há o Semba de carnaval, festivo, mas também há o Semba de lamento. E essas músicas de lamento são universais, acompanham as formas de vivência dos povos negros subjugados à escravatura e à violência. Quando falo de lamento, falo, por exemplo, da Soul music nos Estados Unidos, do Semba em Angola e do Samba no Brasil.” Essa dimensão espiritual e emocional faz do Semba, segundo o investigador, “um género que surge do sofrimento das pessoas negras e que é, por isso, fundamental para marcar a paisagem sonora da independência”. Com o fim do domínio colonial, o Semba tornou-se património simbólico e material da nova nação. “A angolanidade não é um conceito consensual”, reconhece Castro Soares, “mas através da música podemos pensar num aglutinador do que seria o mais próximo deste conceito, um espaço de consensualidade cultural, onde as pessoas daquele território se revissem de alguma forma”. Num país de enorme diversidade étnica e linguística, o Semba, explica, “é talvez o género musical que melhor se aproxima desse trabalho de consenso, dessa procura de unidade nacional”. “Luanda tem um poder magnético muito grande”, acrescenta o antropólogo. “Concentra grande parte de todas as populações do vastíssimo território das 18 províncias. Penso que o Semba poderá ser uma boa banda sonora da angolanidade, ou o mais próximo daquilo que é a angolanidade, apesar de algumas pessoas não gostarem de o pôr aí. Mas o Semba retrata, relata e ilustra de forma sonora a vivência dos angolanos.” Essa vivência é inseparável das chamadas festas de quintal, que, segundo o investigador, “são uma célula cultural onde se ouve todo o tipo de música, mas onde o Semba tem um papel fundamental de união e de construção de diálogo”. Essa dimensão comunitária da música estende-se, para Castro Soares, à vida familiar e quotidiana. “A sentada familiar é uma marca de angolanidade até mais importante que a própria música”, defende. “É o lugar onde se transmite conhecimento, aquilo que chamo transmissão de conhecimento aural — não apenas oral, porque envolve a escuta e o corpo todo. É uma incorporação de saberes ancestrais que vai muito para além da construção da nova nação.” Mas o percurso musical de Angola também foi marcado por silêncios e medos. “O espaço musical foi muito afectado por um acontecimento: a purga dentro do MPLA em 1977”, lembra André Castro Soares. “Esse episódio, que teve contornos de massacre, implicou uma imposição de medo geral em relação à contestação ao poder instituído, e esse medo vai acompanhar até aos dias de hoje.” Mesmo assim, a música nunca deixou de ser um território de resistência. “Os músicos conseguiram ler muito bem os limites impostos pela política. Hoje continuam a falar através de recados, como o Paulo Flores, que usa a canção para denunciar as injustiças do poder político.” Com o passar das décadas, novos estilos emergiram e redefiniram o espaço sonoro angolano. “Depois do Semba, vieram o Kuduro e a Kizomba, que tiveram grandes impactos na diáspora africana e angolana no exterior”, observa o antropólogo. “A Kizomba, que eu costumo chamar um abraço que os angolanos dão a todas as pessoas, até às pessoas racistas, é uma música que consegue juntar pessoas muito diferentes, dentro e fora do país. É um excelente antídoto contra o racismo. Essa é, para mim, a principal lição que os angolanos deram à contemporaneidade: é possível juntarmo-nos e abraçarmo-nos independentemente das nossas diferenças.” Sobre as novas gerações, André Castro Soares vê nelas um diálogo vivo com o passado. “Há todo um diálogo feito pelas novas gerações, ainda que algumas sem memória directa desse passado, mas transmitido pelos pais e pelos antepassados e também por via da educação.” O antropólogo insiste que “Angola não é um Estado falhado, é um Estado com dificuldades e idiossincrasias, que ainda não teve grande alternância política, nem uma democratização plena, mas o caminho está a ser construído e deve ser marcado pelos próprios angolanos. É uma população muito jovem e capaz de fazer releituras e visões para o seu futuro.” Quando se escuta a Angola de hoje, os sons são múltiplos, mas há sinais de regresso às origens. “Tem havido uma procura da essência do que é angolano”, afirma. “As pessoas perderam a utopia dos anos 80, tornaram-se mais realistas, e há uma vontade de voltar aos instrumentos acústicos e tradicionais, como a Dikanza, um instrumento de fricção feito a partir da natureza.” Essa recuperação, diz, “é uma forma de resgatar património, um passado que foi negado pela guerra civil e por um sistema educativo débil, mas que as pessoas estão a reconstruir de forma informal, fora da tutela do Estado.” Entre os artistas actuais, André Castro Soares destaca “Yúri da Cunha, que tem uma proposta musical muito interessante no sentido de procurar as raízes e a festa de quintal”, bem como “Paulo Flores, que continua a apresentar trabalhos com grande profundidade”, e ainda “Eduardo Paim, vindo da Kizomba, que tem feito remisturas com outros estilos como o Zouk”. Também as novas fusões mostram vitalidade: “Dentro do Afrobeat, há várias misturas entre o Kuduro e o Amapiano da África do Sul, o continente influencia-se mutuamente e vai marcando os gostos de uma juventude que tem outras preocupações do que a juventude que fez a independência.” Cinquenta anos depois da proclamação da independência, a música continua a ser, como conclui André Castro Soares, “um marcador cultural fundamental” e “o espaço onde os angolanos se escutam, se reencontram e se reinventam”. Entre o lamento e a festa, o Semba permanece a batida da liberdade, o som de um povo que aprendeu, mesmo em tempos de silêncio, a falar através da música.

Mais de mil milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo vivem em pobreza multidimensional, que inclui dimensões como as privações materiais e sociais, a saúde ou a habitação. Os dados do mais recente Índice publicado pelo Programa de Desenvolvimento Humano das Nações Unidas apontam para cerca de 887 milhões de pessoas expostas a pelo menos um risco climático, entre secas, calor extremo, inundações ou poluição do ar. A cooperação internacional tem sido identificada como uma ferramenta chave para ajudar os países mais pobres a superarem este quadro. É apenas uma questão de transferência de tecnologia e de dinheiro para os países menos desenvolvidos ? Qual o papel do reforço das sociedades civis nestes países? Um programa com Nelvina Barreto, ex-ministra da agricultura da Guiné Bissau, dirigente do Gabinete do Ambiente para as Nações Unidas na Guiné-Bissau; E Sílvia Santos, representante da FEC em Angola.

The Supreme Court has allowed the government to consider full relief on Vodafone Idea's adjusted gross revenue dues — a major breather for the debt-laden telecom giant. Shares jumped nearly 10% after the news, as investors welcomed what could be a turning point for the struggling carrier. India rebalances its oil basket:
India's crude oil imports from Russia plunged nearly 29% in September after the U.S. imposed a new 25% tariff on Russian barrels. To offset the drop, India ramped up sourcing from Nigeria, Angola, and Türkiye — signaling a strategic diversification in its energy imports. ‘Jungle Raj' returns to Bihar's politics:
As Bihar heads to the polls on November 6, familiar shadows from its violent political past are back. Candidates with criminal records — including one campaigning from jail — dominate headlines, reviving memories of the state's turbulent 1990s, writes Poornima Joshi. A historic win for India's women in blue:
Under Amol Muzumdar's guidance, India clinched its first-ever ICC Women's ODI World Cup. For Muzumdar — once dubbed the “eternal next man in” — it's redemption after decades of being overlooked. Now, the big question: will this triumph finally revolutionize women's cricket in India?, writes Radheshyam Jadhav. That's a wrap for today's news. Check out the hindu businessline's website.

The Kenyan Treasury last month announced a breakthrough in its years-long effort to restructure billions of dollars still owed to the China Exim Bank that were used to build the Standard Gauge Railway. The two sides agreed to convert the remaining $3.5 billion of debt from higher-interest-rate U.S. dollar-denominated loans to more affordable yuan-denominated loans, which would potentially generate $215 million in savings for the Treasury. Both Ethiopia and Indonesia are also in talks with Chinese creditors doing the same kind of currency swap to restructure billions of dollars of railway loans. Yufan Huang, a pre-doctoral fellow with the China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and one of the world's leading experts on Chinese debt restructuring, joins Eric to discuss Kenya's new swap and why the promised savings could be illusory.

After centuries of colonial rule, the end of Angola's three-decade civil war in 2002 provided an irresistible opportunity for the government to reimagine the Luanda cityscape. Awash with petrodollars cultivated through strategic foreign relationships, President José Eduardo dos Santos rolled out a national reconstruction program that sought to transform Angola's capital into what he considered to be a modern, world-class metropolis. Until funds dried up in 2014, the program—in conjunction with sweeping private investments in real estate—involved mass demolitions of vernacular architecture to make way for high-rise buildings, large-scale housing projects, and commercial centers. The program thus underestimated the values enshrined in the materials and designs of Luanda's existing “informally” constructed neighborhoods, or musseques. The Aesthetics of Belonging: Indigenous Urbanism and City Building in Oil-Boom Luanda (University of North Carolina Press, 2024) explores the political significance of aesthetics in the remaking of the city. Dr. Claudia Gastrow's archival and ethnographic work, which includes interviews with city planners, architects, nonprofit leaders, and urban dwellers, shows how government infrastructure projects and foreign-inspired designs came to embody displacement and exclusion for many. This, Dr. Gastrow argues, catalyzed a countermovement, an aesthetic dissent rooted in critically reframing informal urbanism as Indigenous—a move that enabled the possibility of recognizing the political potential of informal settlements as spaces that produce belonging. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

After centuries of colonial rule, the end of Angola's three-decade civil war in 2002 provided an irresistible opportunity for the government to reimagine the Luanda cityscape. Awash with petrodollars cultivated through strategic foreign relationships, President José Eduardo dos Santos rolled out a national reconstruction program that sought to transform Angola's capital into what he considered to be a modern, world-class metropolis. Until funds dried up in 2014, the program—in conjunction with sweeping private investments in real estate—involved mass demolitions of vernacular architecture to make way for high-rise buildings, large-scale housing projects, and commercial centers. The program thus underestimated the values enshrined in the materials and designs of Luanda's existing “informally” constructed neighborhoods, or musseques. The Aesthetics of Belonging: Indigenous Urbanism and City Building in Oil-Boom Luanda (University of North Carolina Press, 2024) explores the political significance of aesthetics in the remaking of the city. Dr. Claudia Gastrow's archival and ethnographic work, which includes interviews with city planners, architects, nonprofit leaders, and urban dwellers, shows how government infrastructure projects and foreign-inspired designs came to embody displacement and exclusion for many. This, Dr. Gastrow argues, catalyzed a countermovement, an aesthetic dissent rooted in critically reframing informal urbanism as Indigenous—a move that enabled the possibility of recognizing the political potential of informal settlements as spaces that produce belonging. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

KCSU music director Ria sat down with Jared Swilley of Black Lips ahead of their Dever show at the Mission Ballroom on October 28th, 2025. On this tour the band is supporting Viagra Boys whilst performing songs from their latest album “Season of the Peach”. The two discuss the excitement of touring, the juxtaposition of telling intense stories with a lighthearted sound, and how aliens might react to bird sounds.Ria JanapatiWe are here at the Mission Ballroom, October 2[7]th, [2025]. You are Jared of the Black Lips-Jared SwilleyJared, and you are?Ria  I am Ria, Music Director of KCSU; I've got some questions. Jared  Cool. Ria  First one being: You've been doing this music thing for a hot minute now, are there things about being on the road specifically that change for you excitement level wise? Jared  Oh sure, yeah. There's a different, like, excitement level. I've been touring since I was 16. We drove- the first like US tour we ever did was pretty miserable, but it was still the funnest thing; like, by my standards today, it would be pretty miserable, but I remember  seeing the desert for the first time, and that's like, that excitement- I can remember the excitement I felt, like, the first time I saw a cactus. But like, now, you know, I slept on a pretty drive today because I've seen a lot of that stuff. So that changes. I still love being on stage and stuff. But yeah, I mean, just like, anything you do forever, things get boring. Ria  Are there any cities that you visited a first time and you, like, couldn't wait to go back? Or maybe the opposite, you were really excited, but it wasn't your fav. Jared  Oh, I won't mention any cities I didn't like, because I figure it's best not to say negative things about people or places. But there's... like, yeah, a lot of cities. I mean, talk about [the] excitement of being someplace. I remember the feeling of the first time we went to Europe to play; I couldn't believe it, like, because it was, it felt really cool. And I wanted to go back to all those cities, and I have been back to pretty much all of them. Or, like, you know, like Tokyo, like going there, I was like, "I have to come back here. It's awesome." So most, most places I would like, I, you know, there's, there's very few places I'd be like, “I never want to go there again.” So, yeah, I like most places.Ria  I've seen that you guys have come to be known for pulling some antics during live shows, especially more in the DIY spaces. Has there been anything you've really wanted to do during a live show that would just be like a fun little act that no one saw coming? Jared  There is one that we've been talking about doing... because we've done, like, all sorts of crazy stuff, and we're, like, older now, so I'm not trying to, like, make anyone upset anymore, like, do anything crazy. But like, have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Ria  Absolutely. Jared  So you know, like, when the Munchkins, like those guys come out as, like, the lollipop... the old guys? We want to- I guess I'm spilling the beans here, but it'll surprise people when we do it. But like, we kind of, like… We have this song that's about eating candy on our new record, and we want to just like, stop in the middle, hopefully, at a really huge show, like something like this [Mission Ballroom], or at a big festival, and, like, drop our instruments and go into the lollipop guild dance and then just start playing again. That's kind of like what we want to do.Ria  Nice. A little surprise, a little dance break. Jared  YeahRia  Yeah, awesome. You just have to get the choreography down. Jared  Yeah.Ria  And then your newest album, Season of the Peach, I noticed it takes on a lot of different genre influences. There's some rockabilly sound, there's some 60s stuff, some folk stuff going on, just all over the place. So when you're taking inspiration to create something new like that, where do you find yourself looking?Jared  I'm always looking in the past, and that's just for me. Fortunately, in this band, like all five members [contribute equally], right? So that's why it can kind of seem like it's all over the place, like musically. But, I mean, I only listen to, like, very old music, so that's kind of really what I'm pulling from; I listen to, like, old country and doo-wop and rockabilly and blues and stuff like that, so that's usually... I'm just trying to recreate stuff in a kind of, like, not as good way as the stuff I really like.Ria  Back on your 2020 album, there's a song called "Angola Rodeo", and that song really interested me in the storytelling of it. It seemed like a bit of a silly take on, like, real life events. So-Jared  YeahRia  When you're going about doing that. Where do you draw the line between like, not taking yourself too seriously?Jared  Well, you want to like, not like... or at least with me, I want to be like, if I'm talking about something very serious, and that's a very serious thing... Do you know the story of, like, the Angola rodeo? Ria  Yeah, it's a prison rodeo.Jared  Yeah, prison rodeo, and we actually went to it. I'd always wanted to go, and we went, and it's like, you know, it's pretty controversial. I happen to be in favor of it, just because it's like, if you're doing life in prison, or if you're on death row, like, it's the best day of your life when you get to do... They actually do it for like, a few months of the year. But you know, you don't want to be too preachy or too sappy, so you got to have your tongue firmly in cheek. My theory has always been, if you have, like, a really sad subject matter, make it a very poppy sounding song. And if you have really happy sounding stuff, it should be like, darker. That's kind of like how I like to do things. Ria  Yeah, just flip them on their head. Jared  And it's still, like... The lyrics are still like, kind of serious; but it's like a fun kind of sounding song. But you know, the Angola Prison is, like, one of the darkest places in the United States. It's pretty rough there.Ria  I just thought that was really interesting, because on a first listen, if you're not really paying attention, it'll just be like, "Oh, this is a fun little tune-Jared  There is, like, a big, like, stark contrast when you go to that rodeo, because you are in this just incredibly dark place. You drive in and you see death row, and you see the fields they're all working in, but then you go in there, and it's like, a really happy environment; like the prisoners... It's like, all guys on best behavior, but they've been working; like, they sell their arts and crafts that day. Their families are allowed to come in. They can actually have like, conjugal visits with their family in there. So it's like, it's super dark, ...

On May 25, 2003, at Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in Angola, a Boeing 727 with tail number N844AA mysteriously took off without clearance, piloted by Ben Padilla—a seasoned aviation mechanic, flight engineer, and private pilot—and another unidentified individual. The plane, originally a commercial airliner converted to cargo use, was undergoing maintenance when it suddenly taxied down the runway and vanished into the skies over the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind no trace. Despite international search efforts involving the FBI, CIA, and various aviation authorities, no concrete leads or evidence ever surfaced, fueling countless theories ranging from financial theft and clandestine operations to possible terrorist involvement. Padilla's family believes he was coerced into the incident, while others speculate on his possible involvement. The mystery of the missing Boeing 727 and Ben Padilla remains one of aviation's most perplexing cases, with neither the man nor the massive aircraft ever found, raising questions about how such a disappearance could occur in the age of modern surveillance.(commercial at 8:27)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

En première partie, les anciennes colonies portugaises célèbrent un demi-siècle d'indépendance. 5 pays sont concernés : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et Sao Tomé-et-Principe... En deuxième partie, nous serons dans la région d'Agadir au Maroc, dans ce qu'on appelle parfois le grenier de l'Europe. Dans des champs immenses ou des serres gigantesques, y poussent fruits et légumes. Une particularité : ils sont récoltés en très grande partie par des migrants subsahariens. Portugal : les déracinés des indépendances africaines  5 pays africains : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et São Tomé et Principe, commémorent cette année les 50 ans de leur indépendance. Les guerres coloniales se sont arrêtées avec la chute du régime autoritaire de Salazar en 74, et la révolution démocratique du 25 avril. Les guerres civiles et les soubresauts politiques des anciennes colonies poussent toujours hommes et femmes vers l'ancien pays colonisateur. Certains sont arrivés dans les années 70, d'autres bien plus tard, et d'autres encore sont nés au Portugal. Ils y vivent entre indépendance, intégration, nostalgie et conviction.

Le quotidien des migrants subsahariens au Maroc Au Maroc, la région d'Agadir dans le sud-ouest du pays, concentre une part importante des travailleurs migrants irréguliers. Ils seraient plus de 10 000, selon les ONG, parmi ces subsahariens entre 90 000 et 300 000, qui y font escale. Beaucoup d'autres poursuivent leur migration vers l'Europe. Ils se sont installés dans ce que certains surnomment le « potager de l'Europe » : 20 000 hectares de serres où fruits et légumes poussent toute l'année. Sans papiers, ils sont mal payés, travaillent dur et s'intègrent très difficilement. Même si des associations sont présentes.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 15, 2025 is: coalesce • koh-uh-LESS • verb To coalesce is to come together to form one group or mass. // The club's community service projects provide students with a common goal to coalesce around. // The movie is full of beautifully written scenes but they never coalesce into a whole. See the entry > Examples: “... as Angola prepares for the final, the combination of personal perseverance, team cohesion, and national pride coalesces into something bigger than a game: a celebration of resilience, dedication, and the enduring spirit of basketball in Angola.” — Sindiswa Mabunda, Forbes, 24 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The meaning of many English words equals the sum of their parts, and coalesce is a fitting example. The word unites the prefix co- (“together”) and the Latin verb alescere, meaning “to grow.” Coalesce is one of a number of English verbs (along with mix, commingle, merge, and amalgamate) that refer to the act of combining parts into a whole. In particular, coalesce usually implies the merging of similar parts to form a cohesive unit, such as a political ideology, a fan-following, or (perish the thought) a Portuguese man-of-war, the body of which includes three types of zooids.
