Abstract

The post-colonial African literature today faces challenges of a unique his­torical process: integrating processes such as globalization, which extends boundaries and discusses the identity, and the construction of a nation­al identity. In this context, power relations settle in and through the very space that is occupied, in which we live and by which we establish our identity, or not. This paper aims to highlight the power relations that face the characters of O vendedor de passados by José Eduardo Agualusa in their quest for establishing its own space, a territory, in the concept developed by Haesbaert.
