In contrast to the longstanding scholarship on the subject as regards other European empires, the entanglement of gender and colonialism has been ignored in the Portuguese case. Hence, this book takes a long view, surveying mostly little known historical and literary records that evince how "women" and "colonialism" were discursively constructed at particular points in time in view of a colonialist project that became the reason for being of the fascist authoritarian regime (1933-1974). A cultural studies approach of radical contextualization informs each of the five main chapters, in which documents from a range of disciplines are brought to bear on the main problematic of the female-authored works in focus. The latter are all written in the metropole as a place of colonial return and critical reflection. Beyond recuperating women's voices, this book suggests a story of Portuguese colonialism in the African continent that is anything but Lusotropicalist. 410 $aContemporary Hispanic and Lusophone Cultures 606 $aLiterary Criticism$2bisacsh 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 610 00$aWomen 610 00$aLusotropicalism 610 00$alate European empires 610 00$aPortuguese colonialism in Africa 610 00$acolonialism 610 00$aGender 610 00$aracism 610 00$aPortuguese women writers 615 7$aLiterary Criticism 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 700 $aFerreira$b Ana Paula$01276308 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645971603321 996 $aWomen Writing Portuguese Colonialism in Africa$93007519 997 $aUNINA
