Através e apesar da reconstrução nacional em Angola: circunstâncias e arranjos nos limites da vida

Abstract

Angola's national reconstruction is impressive because of its visible achievements' magnitude. This Thesis is about the trajectories of different social actors through and in spite of the "national reconstruction . Analyzing the micro narratives from some people belonging to contemporary "Angola" that were, at some point , my interlocutors, I follow the paths which operate as interpretive keys to the meanings of post-war in that country. Transitioning through national reconstruction " is a requirement for people to be known and acknowledged, not only by the repressive policies and the management of populations, but also as subjects of rights. Those who are not recognized have to manage the existing gaps in their fields of possibilities, in spite of the national reconstruction ". Among circumstantial arrangements and (the absence of) acknowledgment, some of them occupy, situationedly, the "borderlander " condition. And "through and in spite of , the people build their lives while the "nation is reconstructed.
