SANTOS, Márcia Regina dos  e  SOUZA, Rogério Ferreira de. Refugee Life, Stranger’s Life: The Angolan Experience in Rio De Janeiro. SOCIOLOGIA ON LINE [online]. 2020, n.24, pp.102-125.  Epub 18-Jan-2022. ISSN 1647-3337.  https://doi.org/10.30553/sociologiaonline.2020.24.5.

This article aims to understand and analyze the role of collective and social memory in the reconstruction of identity and resocialization of Angolans in a situation of refugee in Rio de Janeiro. The article is based on six exploratory interviews carried out with Angolan refugees, in 2018. In these exploratory interviews, remembrances, memories and forgetfulness intertwine and articulate personal and collective strategies to maintain their origins, traditions and customs in face of the refugee situation in another country. Clinging to memories becomes an indelible mark on their refugee trajectories, as well as an important instrument in the construction and maintenance of Angolan identities.

Palavras-chave : migration; refugees; memory; identity.
