Title: | Literary Voices of Luanda and Maputo: A Struggle for the City | Authors: | Ribeiro, Margarida Calafate | Keywords: | Maputo; Luanda; Colonial and postcolonial literature; Urban studies | Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | APSA | Project: | PTDC/CLELLI/122229/2010 FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-019830 |
Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Lusophone Studies | Volume: | 1 | Issue: | 1 | Place of publication or event: | Stanford | Abstract: | In this article, I provide an overview of literary portrayals of the cities of Luanda and Maputo over the course of their histories from the colonial period to the post-independence era. In particular, I draw on the literary images and descriptions of the cities to demonstrate a design of inequality that their urbanism determines. Finally, I argue that a struggle for terrain and citizenship—in the conquest of space by colonizers and the reconquest of lost places by the colonized—draws the lines of that inequality. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/34091 | ISSN: | 2469-4800 | DOI: | 10.21471/jls.v1i1.37 | Rights: | openAccess |
