ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the developing revolutionary contestation to the hegemonic nature of neo-liberalism and its consequences, although clarifying how Henri Lefebvre’s spatial ideas point to the opportunity to take advantage of the flaws in the system in order to overcome it. Space is frequently targeted for a more affluent society, mostly in Luanda. The analysis of space and policies that support the Angolan state mode of production may well reveal tendencies and dangers related to the spacialisation of unrestrained capitalism and its escalation. In Angola, the actions of a specifically organised civil society are foremost related to the fight against the urban policies and practices of the government, especially the aggressive methods through which the administration takes over self-produced spaces. The militant resistance of some non-governmental organisations supports everyday strategies and practices of survival as a prospective path to overcome the inequalities intrinsic to the capitalist mode of production as it leads to new ‘uneven geographies’ of class power.
