- This study presents an in-depth comparative analysis of the literary production of the first three female novelists to publish in independent Angola, Cape Verde and Mozambique. Informed by an interdisciplinary theoretical framework, it focuses on the authors’ cultural construction of their complex and distinct postcolonial nations from a female-focalised point of view, and on the Marxist and post-Marxist legacies for women and gender politics. The research entailed lengthy periods in Angola, Cape Verde, Mozambique and Portugal (six months in total) to access primary and secondary sources only available there and to conduct interviews with the authors.
