This book looks at the way that Mozambican and Angolan literary works seek to narrate, re-create and make sense of the postcolonial nation, via three broad themes: the role of history; the recurring image of the voyage; and discursive/narrative strategies. A final section considers the postcolonial in a broader Lusophone and international context.

Mapping Angola and Mozambique

Narrating the Postcolonial Nation

Jessica Falconi

Kamila Krakowska

This volume brings together interviews on the topic of the postcolonial nation and its narrations with prominent writers from Angola and Mozambique. The interviewees offer personal insights into the history of post-independence Angola and Mozambique and into the role of the intellectual elite in the complex processes of deconstructing colonial heritage and (re)constructing national identity in a multinational or multiethnic state. Their testimonies provide a parallel narrative that complements the many fictional narrators found in Angolan and Mozambican novels, short stories and poems. The authors interviewed in the book are Luandino Vieira, Ana Paula Tavares, Boaventura Cardoso, Jose Eduardo Agualusa, Ondjaki and Pepetela from Angola; and Joao Paulo Borges Coelho, Marcelo Panguana, Mia Couto, Paulina Chiziane, Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa and Luis Carlos Patraquim from Mozambique."
