Abstract

Taking as reference O livro da paz da mulher angolana, organized by Dya Kasembe and Paulina Chiziane, in which women’s testimonies of Angola’s wars from the 60s to the beginning of 2000 are gathered, this article aims to discuss the meaning of a 'poetics of memory’, marked by a process of destabilization of gender identities, transpassing subjective bounderies and building new political landscapes.
