The Post-Colonial Literature of Lusophone Africa

by Patrick Chabal

This specially commissioned work is the first comprehensive and up-to-date volume in English on the Portuguese and Creole literatures of the five Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, and Sao TomÉ and Principe. With extensive discussions of the cultural and historical context, and of the literatures of each nation, the volume serves not only as a textbook but as a cultural and intellectual foundation for specialist and non-specialist readers alike interested in the Lusophone world and in African writing generally.
