O Surgimento dos Movimentos Nacionalistas Angolanos: Dificuldades e Contradições (1961 – 2002)

Abstract

The historical events that took place on the international scene after World War II changed the way in which anti-colonial struggles were conceived, the constitution of two antagonistic political and military blocs played their role in the aspect of decolonization of dependent countries. The approach to colonialism in Angolan literature did not always have enough space for its insertion, since in a certain period of the history of Angola the colonial administration tried to silence all bibliographic production that aimed to rediscover and develop the vast cultural field that the country has. Currently, the same sequence can be seen for political-partisan reasons, the history of this country is being written and told in the current generation in a subjective way to cover political interests, which makes it challenging for academics to deepen their research despite the path being very thorny. The study is divided into two chapters, chapter I, deals with aspects related to the emancipation of the first nationalist movements, the emergence of the first semi-formal organizations of Angolan nationalism, and the so-called underground nationalism, without forgetting the fundamental role of leaders of the party organizations that stood out most against colonial domination. Chapter ii describes the ups and downs of a more active nationalism defended by international statutes for countries dependent on imperialism to conquer their independence, and in the Angolan field, the difficulties and contradictions of Angolan nationalism were illustrated, mainly during and after 1974, a scenario exacerbated by the Alvor agreements on January 15, 1975. Whose conflict lasted until the death of Jonas Savimbi. Finally, chapter iii emphasized the quantitative aspects of the study carried out through questionnaire surveys and interviews. Quantification was classified by gender, sample and percentage of respondents
