Publisher's text:

A special edition of this book was included in Michael MacGarry's 2011 solo exhibition at Stevenson Johannesburg titled Entertainment. The book is the photographic and conceptual result of research trips to the capital of Angola over a two-year period. The Republic of Luanda focuses on the city as it emerges as the largest net exporter of crude oil on the African continent, and the largest capital and infrastructure development partner to the People's Republic of China in Africa. The book itself was printed and bound in China.
