This article presents an analysis of the novel O último voo do flamingo (2005), by the Mozambican writer Mia Couto. The purpose of the article is to recognize and allude to some specificities of the Mozambican socio- -cultural reality in the context of post-coloniality. Therefore, we will analyze the meanings of identity present in the novel. This bibliographic research is based mainly on the field of postcolonial studies It is understood the novel “O último Voo do Flamingo” as a metaphor for the reconstruction of a country that is seen as devastated by the war and the greed of its rulers. We conclude that literature plays an important role in providing the possibility of voice to those who, in different ways, have been silenced by colonial history.
