SUMMARY:

This dissertation seeks to explore the figure of the Angolan traditional midwife, her social, political and cultural role, as well as the contexts that surround her reality in Angola today. The objective is to try to trace the profile of some traditional midwives, who work in the province of Namibe and in some neighborhoods of the municipality of Viana, province of Luanda, in the search for elements that make it possible to understand the logic that precedes their universe. For this analytical path, I seek to think about topics such as: gender, body and childbirth in African society from theoretical references of African feminism, the intertwining and subalternization of ancestral knowledge from decolonial studies and the effects of national health policies on the craft of midwives, critically analyzing international and national health regulations related to childbirth and birth.
