Ensino de direito em Angola e a dominação portuguesa pela doutrina jurídica: a visão dos estudantes da FDUON

Abstract

We seek, in the present study, to reflect on the teaching of Law in Angola, seeking to understand how language barriers generate impacts on the learning of legal morals. For the purposes of this reflection, we will take into account the socio-historical context and the Angolan education system. Alongside the theoretical subsidies of Vicente (2010), Grosfoguel (2010), Santos (2010), and through the methodological guidelines of Critical Discourse Analysis (VAN DIJK, 2008; OLIVEIRA and SILVA, 2017), we will analyze responses to the research questionnaire on the reading and writing practices of law students in the third year of the FDUON Law course. The analyzes reveal that, despite the process of “decolonization”, the teaching of Law in Angola is governed by the basis of Portuguese and European Law. We also verified discourses that can help us to unveil colonial marks in this context.
