The objective of this study is to present the poetry of the Mozambican writer Deusa D’África and show how her poems are inserted in the continuum project of Mozambicanity from a discourse that is organized in the feminine in the sense of territorializing a literary production of female authorship center of Mozambique, echoes to the rhythm of the xitende and suppresses an Afro-Mozambican feminism whose discussion agenda turns to the condition of women. For the discussion and analysis of the poems Today I feel like, Tears of sugar and The voice of my entrails, we rely on the positions of Chimamanda Adchie (2015), Djamila Ribeiro (2017), Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda (2018), de Judith Butler (2017), Paulina Chiziane (2013) among other references.
