Lilia Momplé and Paulina Chiziane rescue the dilemmas of national constitution in their narratives, through the experiences of characters relegated to the sidelines. Despite its importance, the name of these women writers is rarely mentioned in Brazilian studies on African literatures written in Portuguese. Why this absence? Understanding this absence is to understand much of what is cluttered in the middle of the long road that separates the Brazilian readers of African literatures written in Portuguese (particularly the Mozambican literature): the circulation of books and the logic of the publishing market in times marked by residual colonialist cultural politics.
