The Luso, the Tropic and the Tinny Dog in the Literary Revelations of Honwana
| Resumo: | It discusses the skewed narrative of Portuguese colonization in Africa supported by Gilberto Freyre's lusotropical ideology, which was strategically co-opted by the New State (Estado Novo) in the defense of late colonialism. While the journeys of the "Brazilian one in Portuguese lands" sponsored by Lisbon, between 1951 and 1952, resulted in sociological works that promoted the regime, the anticolonialist struggles were strengthened, and erupted in 1961. In that era of belligerent activities and intellectual resistance, Mozambican literature highlights Luís Bernardo Honwana and his We Killed Mangy Dog (1964), a set of narratives of colonial everyday life in Mozambique that demystifies lusotropical rhetoric, denouncing a "world that Portuguese created" marked by predatory exploitation, misappropriation of land, racism and deprivation of human values ??of all kinds. In this article it is verified how resistance to Lusotropicalist ideas was present in the discourse of the African intellectuals and writers engaged in anticolonial movements. |
