Abstract

This study critically analysis traces of ancestrality in African narratives of Portuguese-language writers. The corpus of analysis comprises the following works: Terra sonâmbula (1993), by Mia Couto, Momento de ilusão (2000), by Fragata de Morais; Mãe, materno mar (2001) and A morte do velho Kipacaça (2004), by Boaventura Cardoso; Contos de morte (2008), by Pepetela and As andorinhas (2013), by Paulina Chiziane. The typological vision of Leite about the notion of ancestrality in the work A questão ancestral: África negra (2008) as well as studies on memory, orality and Literary Theory are used to support the analysis proposed in this study.
