Narrating the Postcolonial Nation: Mapping Angola and Mozambique in Bloomington, MN

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.
