Abstract

Looking to portray changes in postcolonial consciousness, Angolan Ondjaki wrote the tale We Weep for the Thrush Dog in dialogue with a Mozambican Honwana narrative: We Kill the Thrush Dog, produced decades earlier. Both plots are narrated by children, their plots complement each other and eventually trace the social barriers imposed by the colonial conscience to the residents of those regions, the confrontations with this constituted power and, finally, the construction of a new look from reflection, propitiated, in the context of Ondjaki's text, by the encounter with the literary text in school space.
