A exclusão social nos musseques de Luanda em José Luandino Vieira (Angola, 1950-1960)

Abstract

The scope of the work is based on the observations of a part of the literature of the Angolan José Luandino Vieira, through the use of the following texts as a source: The city and childhood, from 1960; Our musseque, from 1962; and Luuanda, from 1963. It is located in African studies in the context of urban mobility. In this way, a historical interpretation of the practices of mobility and displacement that are associated with the daily life of the musseques in Luanda, represented by the writing of this writer, in the period of 1950 and 1960, is developed. As a result, there are questions - namely - understand how José Luandino Vieira is the spokesman for two questions about the reality launched to the musseques of Luanda at that time: What did life do to me? And what can I do with what life has done to me? Considering that at that time, the Angolan capital experienced radical changes due to the increase in the number of divisions that were established across the country. Thus, we sought to develop a historical analysis of cultural and social dynamics in Luanda, in the middle of the 20th century, to verify the elements of social exclusion, the cultural aspects that foster the creation of values and identities through Angolan political liberation guidelines.
