Transnational Portuguese Studies
Transnational Portuguese Studies offers a radical rethinking of the role played by the concepts of ‘nationhood’ and ‘the nation’ in the epistemologies that underpin Portuguese Studies as an academic discipline. Portuguese Studies offers a particularly rich and enlightening challenge to methodological nationalism in Modern Languages, not least because the teaching of Portuguese has always extended beyond the study of the single western European country from which the language takes its name. However, this has rarely been analysed with explicit, or critical, reference to the ‘transnational turn’ in Arts and Humanities. This volume of essays from leading scholars in Portugal, Brazil...
Miriam Alves Plural
Em 1978, no Teatro Municipal em São Paulo, surgiu o Movimento Negro Unificado (MNU), data em que o pensamento coletivo acerca da escrita de autoria negra começou a se formar, conectando escritores em um corpo cultural a um só tempo diverso e coeso. Embora já escrevesse desde a infância, é a partir desse movimento que Miriam Alves passa a elaborar as vivências e subjetividades negras brasileiras e a traduzi-las em seu fazer literário, cuja grandeza não foi devidamente medida pelo racismo estrutural que ainda hoje é motivo de combate na literatura e na sociedade. Nascida em 1952, aos trinta anos Miriam Alves passou a publicar seus poemas, contos e romances, pelos quais obteve reconhe...
The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles
The Portuguese Colonial War and the African Liberation Struggles: Memory, Politics and Uses of the Past presents a critical and comparative analysis on the memory of the colonial and liberation wars that led to a regime change in Portugal and to the independence of five new African countries: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and São Tomé and Príncipe.

Schwarze Poesie - Poesia Negra
"Dieses Buch ist ein Glücksfall. Würde ich von einem jungen Leser, der sich zum ersten Mal an die brasilianische Literatur der Gegenwart wagt, gefragt werden, womit er beginnen soll, ich würde ihm nachdrücklich diesen Band empfehlen. Und auch allen Liebhabern lateinamerikanischer Literatur, die gerade einen brasilianischen Roman lesen, möchte ich zurufen: Unterbrecht eure Lektüre, und setzt sie erst fort, nachdem ihr dieses Buch in euch aufgenommen habt, vom ersten bis zum letzten Wort, vorab die hellsichtige, erhellende, eingehende Einführung der Herausgeberin. Zeugenaussagen von höchster Aktualität: als Selbstgespräch, Zwiegespräch, Anrufung, poetischer Aphorismus, Sekundengedic...
The Post-colonial Literature of Lusophone Africa
This work examines the Portuguese and crioulo literatures of the five African Portuguese-speaking countries: Angola; Cape Verde; Guinea Bissau; Mozambique; and Sao Tome and Principe. It offers an introduction to the cultural and historical context within which literature developed in Lusophone Africa, as well as a discussion of the prose and poetry published by the writers from these five countries since independence. As such, the volume is intended not only as a textbook for the student of the literatures of the five Lusophone countries, but also as a cultural and intellectual foundation for the specialist reader with an interest in the former Portuguese colonial empire.

Lusophone African Short Stories and Poetry after Independence
In 1975, after much resistance, Portugal became the last colonial power to relinquish its colonies on the African continent. The tardiness of Portuguese decolonization in Africa (Cabo Verde, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea Bissau, São Tomé e Príncipe) raises critical questions for the emergence of national literary and cultural production in the wake of national independence. Bringing together the works of poets, short story writers, and journalists, this book charts the emergence and evolution of the national literatures of Portugal’s former African colonies, from 1975 to the present. The aim of this book is to examine the ways in which writers contended with the process of decolonization, forging national, transnational, and diasporic identities through literature while grappling with the legacies and continuities of racial power structures, colonial systems of representation, and the struggles for political sovereignty and social justice. This book will be the first of its kind in English to include canonical, emerging, and previously untranslated authors of poetry and short-form fiction to a new public.
