    • Abstract:
      This article focuses on the current efforts of professionals from Angola, on the African continent, to overcome the devastating effects of the country¿s colonization, followed by a brutal civil war. Potentially, individuals and communities have the capacity to overcome hardship when the events that provide deteriorating pressures have ceased. The resilience theory, which supports the study presented here, explains this quality.

These categories encompass the forces related to emotions that were made explicit by the interviewees and, consequently, to their foundations of resilience ; Este artigo focaliza o atual esforço de profissionais de Angola, do continente africano, para superar os efeitos devastadores da colonização do país, seguida de uma brutal guerra civil.

A literatura e as respostas dos sujeitos da investigação permitiram a ...
