RESUMO

The aim of this study is to analyze, critically, three tales from the book Regresso Adiado (1974) written by the Angolan writer Manuel Rui. It is our purpose to understand the usage of literature as a relevant tool in the attempt to (re)construct the identity of Angola. With the intensification of fights for the independence of Angola in the 60s and 70s, a group of writers, among them Manuel Rui, used the literary word with a function that was not only esthetics. It had also the aim to question and to denounce the results left by the Portuguese colonia l system, furthermore, it had also the aim to make people aware of the facts and to reconstruct progressively the identity representation of this country, searching for a new historical condition to Angola. Under this perspective, this thesis has also the aim to raise the historical facts that were fundamental to the independence of Angola and for the national literature, taking into account the function of the word used in this specific book by this Angolan writer.
