A luta anticolonial angolana em Luandino e Pepetela

Abstract

This article discusses Luuanda and Nós, os do Makulusu, written by José Luandino Vieira, and Mayombe by Pepetela, based on the context of anti-colonial struggle in Angola since the Second World War. Initially, it is outlined a brief history on the Portuguese Ultra-colonialism and on the Angolan history of resistance, then it presents some key thinkers, as Balandier, Memmi, N'krumah and Fanon, on the debate of the right of peoples from Third World countries to self-determination, and, finally, it analyses these three books, written by two intellectuals from MPLA, deeply engaged on the struggle for national liberation.
