PEREIRA, Márcia Moreira. A mulher nos contos de Mia Couto: uma leitura pós-colonial. RILP [online]. 2017, vol.32, pp.179-188. Epub 28-Jul-2021. ISSN 2182-4452. https://doi.org/10.31492/2184-2043.rilp2017.32/pp.181-190.
As a set of theories that analyzes the political, philosophical, cultural and literary implications left by the colonizers in the colonized countries, adopting a critical perspective and a combative practice against them, the postcolonialism presupposes the occurrence of a literary production, which privileges the culture of all those who have been colonized by European nations. In Portuguese-African literature, following the perspective of postcolonialism, the woman is represented as someone free from taboos and impositions by male power, and assuming a role of subject of its own history. Therefore, this article analyzes two short stories by Mia Couto (“O perfume”, in Estórias abensonhadas and “O cesto”, in O fio das missangas), from the theoretical perspective of Postcolonial Studies, highlighting the role of women is this short stories.
