This work proposes to discuss the representation of the voice of childhood, from a diachronic perspective, considering the signs of a change that has occurred when comparing the colonial and post-independence periods, in the African context. To this end, we begin by reading the work A Cidade e a Infância, by the Angolan author Luandino Vieira, published in 1957, to arrive at the analysis of the novel Quem me dera ser onda, by the also Angolan writer Manuel Rui, published in 1982. Observe-It is clear that, in this period of time between the two works, childhood was elevated to a place of enunciative protagonism, which indicates an update of the concepts of childhood that highlight aspects of both decoloniality, because it gives voice to a systematically silenced group, and decoloniality, because it constitutes a discourse of insurgency and emancipation.
