Abstract

THIS ESSAY INTENDS TO PONDER ON SOME ASPECTS OF REPUBLICANISM IN ANGOLA, ANALYZING HOW A FRACTION OF THE URBAN ELITES, CALLED "THE CHILDREN OF THE COUNTRY", "ANGOLANS" OR "NATIVE" HAVE APPROPRIATED EXOGENOUS POLITICAL CONCEPTS WITH  THE GOAL OF TRANSFORMING THE ANGOLAN SOCIAL REALITY AS THE RESULT OF AN INTERNAL DYNAMIC. THIS PROCESS BEGAN IN THE SECONDE HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, WHEN THE MONARCHICAL IJNSTITUTIONS BEGAN TO SUFFER STRONG ATTACKS COMING FROM VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE POPULATION. AMONG THE COMPONENTS OF THIS PROCESS, WE ARE FACED WITH POLITICAL CONCEPTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND ITS TRANSPOSITION TO AMERICAN AND AFRICAN COLONIES, WHERE THEY WERE AFTERWARDS REDESIGNED.
