This work intends to study Mozambique and Angola‘s postcolonial authoritarianism and violence during the Portuguese colonial domination and the independence of these countries afterwards, trying to identify and explain its manifestations. Therefore, as corpus to this comparative study, we took Juvenal Bucuane‘s Xefina (1989), in Mozambique‘s case; and in Angola‘s case we took Manuel Rui‘s Quem me dera ser onda (1982, 1. ed.). The first one shows the circumstances where white men (representative of Portuguese colonial power) subjugates black man, through forced and inhuman works‘ imposition, of physical and psychological violence, freedom privation, the impossibility to access education and culture tools, beyond another evils. In Quem me dera ser onda, with Angola‘s independence, we verify the rise of a petit bourgeois‘ power that did nothing unless to replace the Portuguese colonizer by a new black ―colonizer‖. Manuel Rui‘s romance keeps both authoritarianism and violence, from what also comes the problem of patriarchy that configures another way of domination in this work, because there are men‘s supremacy and women‘s exploration, which are nonetheless another way of colonization. In order to proceed with this work we brought many theories, mostly about postcolonial literature, authoritarianism and violence, as well as the use of an analytical-descriptive methodology about those evils‘ manifestations in the selected corpus. It was also interesting to notice in the texts teaching and school‘s ideological role in postcolonial State which influenced a lot in social hierarchizing. Thus, we could verify authoritarianism and violence issues not only in the period of colonial domination, as carried on the post-independence period especially in Mozambique and Angola, in 1975. And its effects still go on and need to be studied until now.
