This thesis aims to study the novel O guardador de memórias (2008), the Angolan writer Isabel Ferreira. In this context, in critical reading on the novel, initially, was an attempt to highlight the process of deterritorialization of language and of the characters Kiluva and Ana Medrante, which escaped through a discourse of insubordination. For this analysis, it has been used the theories by Deleuze and Guattari, in the book Kafka: por uma literatura menor (1977). Besides the criticism about female characters, we also analyzed the male characters Kafrique and Hunende, men who see themselves compelled to redefine their subjectivity against the freedom of women. For a better understanding of the context in which it sets out the voice of the author, it discusses the process of formation and solidification of Angolan literature. Thus, considering the long road traveled by women to be recognized as authors of their own stories, by making a brief trajectory of the feminist movement, bringing forth an approach to black feminism, based on the assumptions of bell hooks. To complement that, we have brought a discussion about the identity crisis of contemporary men, who when faced with the emancipation of women, has been forced to revise their roles in patriarchal society. Thus, the approaches developed with this thesis aim primarily to make the voice of black to be heard, women, writers or not, who have undergone a process of exclusion and silencing throughout its history.
