This volume investigates literary and cinematographic narratives from
Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and Sao Tome and Principe, analysing the
different ways in which social and cultural experience is represented
in postcolonial contexts. It continues and completes the exploration
of the postcolonial imaginary and identity of Portuguese-speaking
Africa presented in the earlier volume Narrating the Postcolonial
Nation: Mapping Angola and Mozambique (2014). Memory, history,
migration and diaspora are core notions in the recreation and
reconceptualization of the nation and its identities in Capeverdian,
Guinean and Saotomean literary and cinematographic culture.
Acknowledging that the idea of the postcolonial nation intersects with
other social, political, cultural and historical categories, this book
scrutinizes written and visual representations of the nation from a
wide range of inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives, including
literary and film studies, gender studies, sociology, and
post-colonial and cultural studies. It makes a valuable contribution
to current debates on postcolonialism, nation and identity in these
former Portuguese colonies.
