- This 90,000 word monograph shows sustained research effort through its complex exploration of the gendered body in Mozambican literature and cultural history, and its broad historical and theoretical scope. Drawing on an extensive range of archival primary sources, the first chapter surveys the dynamics of gender, sexuality and race in the Portuguese colonial and Mozambican post-independence contexts, from the nineteenth century to the turn of the millennium. This provides background for three further chapters, which engage multiple theoretical frameworks to offer in-depth readings of poetry and prose fiction by six Mozambican authors, spanning several generations, styles and aesthetic traditions.
