Abstract:In the mid-twentieth century characteristically Angolan, Cape Verdean, Guinean, Mozambican and São Tomean writers, as well as nationalist literary movements, began to emerge in appreciable numbers in Portugal's African colonies. All of the articles that comprise the first four sections of this special issue deal with the nature of the relevant literary movements as well as with works by individual authors during both the colonial past and postcolonial present of Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde. They also include references to the literary output of Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé e Príncipe. Works by Agostinho Neto, Uanhenga Xitu (the Kimbundu nom de plume and nom de guerre, but not pseudonym, of Agostinho André Mendes de Carvalho), José Craveirinha, Germano Almeida and Conceição Lima (pseudonym of Maria da Conceição de Deus Lima) are singled out for special attention. The five articles in the final section focus on Afro-Brazilian literature and culture. The issue opens with a tribute to Gerald M. Moser (1915-2005), the US-based pioneering scholar and professor of lusophone African literatures.
