The present work seeks to understand, through the works Portagem, (1966), by Orlando Mendes and Mayombe, (1979), by Pepetela, how literature in Portuguese-speaking African countries dealt with the figure of the mestizo.To assist us in this reflection, knowledge from history, sociology and anthropology will sometimes be consulted and briefly brought to light to elucidate our research.In this sense, understanding how the colonization process took place, imperialist interests, the emergence of the word race that divided humanity according to skin, served to sediment the colonialist process imposed by Portugal.In the midst of this polarization of blacks and whites, the figure of the mestizo emerged, who was equally excluded both by whites who did not recognize the paternal side of these individuals, and by blacks who did not consider them truly African.Through works listed as fundamental for this study, it will be seen from the perspective of literature how the topic has been treated in the different Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa throughout history, so that we can understand why João Xilim, in Portagem, and Teoria in Mayombe seek to understand themselves as individuals in order to solve the problems imposed on them due to their skin color
