Abstract

Ungulani Ba ka Khosa is considered one of the most important writers of Mozambican literature, mainly for filling fictionally not only the gaps left by the historiography that focuses on the colonial period of his country, but also to question in a frontal way the complex political decisions taken by the Mozambican government at the time of independence. Looking back to the nineteenth century, the present study tries to understand how the author intertwines fiction with historical elements to shed light on the past and to legitimize voices that are often excluded from official discourses.
