Jorge Arrimar's Long Journey Back to Angola: The Return of a Native Son
There is a long tradition of Angolan writers who have recalled their native land from exile, the most emblematic example of this condition being that of the founder of the nation, and many would argue, of modern Angolan poetry: Agostinho Neto. The independence of Angola in 1975, which brought Neto home from exile, in its turn produced another generation of "refugee" writers fleeing the ensuing civil war, whose work reflects a sense of "angolanida…
Between Southern Portugal and Southern China: The Poetry of Fernanda Dias
Fernanda Dias is an artist and writer who lived in Macau for almost twenty years from the mid-1980s. The author of three collections of poems (as well as one collection of short stories), her work reflects her attempts to understand and identify with the culture of Southern China, while also evoking the strength of her native roots in the Alentejo. Many of her poems express the tension within her as a traveller and observer, and as an exile. As a…
"On "Cabo Verde: "Os Bastidores da Independência" by José Vicente Lopes
Compared to the mainland countries of Mozambique, Angola and even Guinea-Bissau, the recent history of Cape Verde has not attracted very much academic scrutiny, which is surprising given its unique independence process and its early political links with Guinea-Bissau under the banner of one political party, the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Gape Verde (PAIGC).There are, of course, exceptions.Golm Foy's now dated analysis of the…
Mia Couto: A Literary Voice from Mozambique
MIA COUTO WAS BORN IN BEIRA, Mozambique’s second city, in 1955, and belongs to a generation of writers who emerged during the 1980s and were concerned with exploiting the aesthetic potential of Mozambican literature rather than the utopian truths imposed by the revolutionary regime that had come to power in 1975, following the country’s independence from Portugal. For his part, Couto was close to the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (frelim…
An Inter-disciplinary Africanist: Patrick Chabal
This essay assesses the originality of Patrick Chabal's contribution to the interdisciplinary study of Lusophone Africa in two major senses: as a political scientist, historian and pioneer of Lusophone African literary studies who understood not only how the continent's distinctive political culture should inform the reading of its literatures, but also that culture in its turn must be central to explaining the politics of the region; and above a…
