A Feminist Dance of Love, Eroticism, and Life
This article analyses the form and content of Niketche: Uma História de Poligamia (Niketche: A Story of Polygamy), the most recent work by Paulina Chiziane, Mozambique's first female novelist. A brief introduction offers some considerations of Chiziane's latest work as an aesthetic object and a literary product, published in Lisbon and intended for readers from all seven of the countries, on three continents, whose official language is Portuguese…

Tribute to Gerald M. Moser
Tribute to Gerald M. Moser Russell G. Hamilton Gerald M. Moser, the US-based pioneering scholar and professor of lusophone African literatures, passed away, at the age of 90, on 2 March 2005.

Caruru and Calulu, Etymologically and Sociogastronomically
Caruru and Calulu, Etymologically and Socio-Gastronomically:Brazil, Angola, and São Tomé Príncipe Russell G. Hamilton (bio) and Hamilton (bio) We begin our etymological considerations by citing some pertinent dictionary definitions. In The Random House Dictionary of the English Language one finds the following definition of callaloo: "a thick soup of crabmeat, greens, and various seasonings." The dictionary entry then proceeds to indicate that th…
Afro-Insularity
Afro-Insularity Conceição Lima (bio) Translated by Russell G. Hamilton (bio) On the islands they left a legacy of hybrid words and sorrowful plantations rusted sugar mills breathless prows resonant aristocratic names and the legend of a shipwreck on Sete Pedras Arriving from the North they cast anchor here by mandate or by chance in the service of their king: navigators and pirates slave traders thieves contrabandists common folk also rebel outca…
Calulu of Angola
Calulu of Angola:An Interview with Teresa Cohen Russell G. Hamilton (bio) and Teresa Cohen (bio) HAMILTON: How long have you been making calulu? COHEN: I've been eating calulu since I was a child, and I started making it when I was a teenager. HAMILTON: Is it a family tradition? If so, tell me about how it fits into your family's culinary tradition. COHEN: It is indeed a family tradition. Since my grandmother and mother are from the city of Luand…
Calulu of São Tomé
Calulu of São Tomé:An Interview with Conceição Lima Russell G. Hamilton (bio) and Conceição Lima (bio) HAMILTON: How long have you been making the dish? LIMA: Since I was a teenager. As a matter of fact, at a certain level of São-Tomean culture, knowing how to make calulu represents a female's having come of age. One hears the following comment: "She is a girl who knows how to keep house and is capable of making calulu on her own." This means tha…
African literature in Portuguese
Portuguese was the first European language to reach sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, by the middle of the fifteenth century many Africans spoke Portuguese-based pidgins and creoles. As a consequence of this early presence, African writing in Portuguese appeared before anything comparable in English, French, and other European languages. Literary precursors in the colonial period With a few exceptions, documented as far back as the nineteenth century, pr…
Lusofonia, Africa, and Matters of Languages and Letters
Lusophone Literature in Africa
The end of Portugal's colonial empire has given rise to two compelling questions: (1) What is the future of the Portuguese language in Africa (and, indeed, in the world beyond)? and (2) Will the literatures of those new African countries continue to be written primarily in Portuguese? By now, some fifteen years after the colonies gained their independence, we have enough of a sense of the situation to identify certain middle-, if not long-term, p…
Lusophone Literature in Africa
A few years ago, on the city bus in Tel Aviv, a young mother and her adolescent daughter sat quietly chatting. Directly behind sat an older woman whose furrowed brow revealed that she was overhearing the conversation between mother and daughter with some displeasure. Finally, unable to contain herself, the stranger leaned forward and whispered, reprovingly: Why aren't you speaking Hebrew? To which the protective mother unhesitatingly replied: spe…

Afro-Brazilian Cults in the Novels of Jorge Amado
ANY critical appraisal of Jorge Amado's novels invariably means a discussion of social consciousness, historical documentation, and poetic prose. Critics will apologetically mention Amado's lack of psychological penetration and then hasten to point out his lyricism and prowess as a story-teller. They may also apologize for the early politically oriented works, but they will certainly praise Amado's dramatic forcefulness and his identification wit…
