This article analyzes Luandino Vieira´s children and youth book A guerra dos fazedores de chuva com os caçadores de nuvens. With a postcolonial approach it unveils the violence imposed to Angola through its colonization and with its high point with the war of independence. Nature has an active role in the outcomes of the narrative as a metaphor to the process of rethinking the nation. In addition, the children have also a major role, especially on the final battle. With this study it is possible to reevaluate the colonial and postcolonial residues contained in the literary work. Thus, it will broaden the discussion of Postcolonialisms in African literature in Portuguese.Downloads
