Such matrix was structured on a prevailing Weltanschauung (world and national vision), that has been progressively self-presented, self-assumed, imposed\/assimilated as national and modern within a project of identity and power hegemony, even though still and constantly ridden by several internal contradictions and tensions. Dynamics of this process is central to understand the intricacies of the relationship between rulers and ruled, evolving identities as well as the still significant social support to the party in power after more than four decades in the government. The regime\u2019s resilience lays on such ethos in support of hegemonic power and identity project, above and beyond the president and all his political management abilities, beyond the central instrumentality of the national oil company (SONANGOL), beyond the media spotlight on influential names surrounding the presidency, including the president\u2019s men, generals, and beyond authoritarianism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/tem-1980-542x2018v250108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,5]],"date-time":"2019-02-05T13:42:37Z","timestamp":1549374157000},"page":"153-173","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The historical-sociological matrix and ethos at the heart and strength of MPLA\u2019s modern Angola"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5921-6311","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nuno Carlos de Fragoso","family":"Vidal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Universit\u00e1rio de Lisboa,  Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]},"reference":[{"year":"1999","series-title":"The Criminalization of the State in Africa","author":"BAYART J-F.","key":"ref1"},{"year":"1989","series-title":"The State in Africa","author":"BAYART J-F","key":"ref2"},{"year":"1992","series-title":"Frontline Nationalism in Angola and Mozambique","author":"BIRMINGHAM D","key":"ref3"},{"year":"2015","series-title":"A Short History of Modern Angola","author":"BIRMINGHAM D","key":"ref4"},{"year":"1966","series-title":"Trade and Conflict in Angola","author":"BIRMINGHAM D","key":"ref5"},{"year":"1997","series-title":"Aviso \u00e0 navega\u00e7\u00e3o","author":"CARVALHO R.
