Lusophone African Literature

Lusophone African Literature refers to the works created by authors from African countries where Portuguese is spoken, such as Angola, Mozambique, and Cape Verde. These writers often explore themes like colonial history, identity, social change, and cultural heritage. The literature reflects the diverse experiences of post-colonial societies, blending local traditions with influences from Portuguese language and culture. It contributes to global literature by offering unique perspectives on African life, often addressing issues like liberation, conflict, and resilience through rich storytelling and poetic language.
