Noites de vigília: um romance contemporâneo entre a literatura e a história angolana

The novel Noites de vigília, by the Angolan writer Boaventura Cardoso, presents a narrative that is marked by a construction nourished by both the literary aesthetics and the historical process in which it is inserted. The novel presents a pluralistic aesthetic and its main approaches unfold in so many others, thus allowing negotiations of meaning in a game of polysemy. It was from these conceptions of textual and literary analysis that this essay was articulated, whose objective is to discuss the problematic of colonialist and anticolonialist discourse as necessary tools to better understand the libertarian and autonomous construction of aspects related to Angolan society in its national formation.
