Resumo
This work has as main aims to analyze the reconfiguration of Mozambican national identity
after the Civil War, and to show how this new discourse is represented in Mia Couto's novels,
namely: A Sleepwalking Land, Under the Frangipani and The Last Flight Of The Flamingo.
The purpose is to think how this internal conflict was presented as a divisor of waters while it
calls into question concepts of nationality forged by FRELIMO, and establishes an idea of
nation aligned with the perspective of cultural difference. Therefore, this study presents some
directions related with Mozambican history and literature. The latter is used a source since it
is a type of knowledge formed in the imaginary understood as ideas and images of
representation that give meaning to the identities. This kind of mental construction allows us
a privileged access to the sensibilities of a time, the experiences in life and the constructed
discursiveness. They produce significations that allow us to know some society conceptions
and different perceptions of historical process. The theoretical structure of this dissertation is
base on authors as Homi K. Bhabha, Benedict Anderson, Frantz Fanon, Hannah Arendt
among others. Although there is no theoretical and methodological exclusivity, this research
adopts the post-colonial perspective and stands out the locus of enunciation of the subaltern
subject. That direction is due to comprehension of the importance of a knowledge
construction which seeks the deconstruction of the essentialism and criticizes the
homogenized conceptions of historical knowledge.
