Abstract

this paper aims at discussing the dependence and violence imposed by the colonial system, related to the several forms of resistance and identity through the analysis of four African poems in Portuguese: “Monangamba”, by António Jacinto, “Reza, Maria!”, by José Craveirinha, “Negra”, by Noémia de Souza and “Nós somos”, by Hélder Proença.
