Abstract
This article deals with the Angolanformer-exiled, ones of ethnolinguistic originBakongo, returning to Luanda, after a long periodof experience in the neighboring country Zaire(current RDC), during the Angola’s independence war, between the years of 1961-1974. The Bakongo is an “ethnic boundary” living in Angola as in the two Congos. The regress of this group, with at least one generation born in the exterior, suggests questions on theformation and the instigation of ethnic identitiesand the appearance of new conceptions ofnationality from a culture constructed in aexternal experience to the country. The searchingof new forms of participation of social recognitionand politician through the dispute of thelegitimacy around conceptions of nationalidentity is an ingredient in the complex processof the national reconstruction of Angola.
