Sumario:The scope of this article is the phenomenon of the informal commerce sellers, known as zungueiras, and the consolidation of informal neighborhoods in the urban space of Luanda, Angola, as two aspects of socio-spatial segregation. It seeks to understand the urban dynamics that resulted in the process of constitution of the musseques and their territorial transformations over time and the segregation of zungueiras, both as suppression of the right to the city, through aspects of the trajectory that the country has followed from the colonial period to the present days. Understanding that the city is a field of constant socio-territorial disputes and conflicts, references are made to the concepts of lower circuit and southern epistemologies, in order to find gaps for understanding the possibilities of autonomy and emancipation.
