Abstract

José Craveirinnha is especially regarded in his homeland, Mozambique, his greatest literary exponent, such as Camões in Portugal, by the virtue of had defended their language and have fought against the submission of their Nation. His poetry is marked by resistance and unfading lyricism, not only reduced to protest. The universality of his verse reaches his brothers, people undergoing cultural imposition and a process of acculturation, impossible to be completely performed. In the present article is related his poetic verve with postcolonial studies, trying to show the colonization’s absurdities and the attempt to overcome this reality, still present in our thinking, to be decolonized. It’s reflected here in poems like "África", "Grito negro", "Poema do futuro cidadão", among others, transpiring the brightness and the genius of its author.
