Postcolonial literature and Cape Verde: poetry of a ‘creole’ world


Abstract


My article is about the creole languages and the literature of the archipelago of Cape Verde. In the first section I explain the literature of Cape Verde and the concept of creolisation. Whilst in the second part I have included an anthology of the most renowned Cape Verdean poems. The culture of Cape Verde is a new one that is trying to emerge right before our eyes. I believe that understanding the literature of Cape Verde is the only way to create a productive interchange between marginal literatures and those already widely deliberated: both of these will be extensively studied thanks to a new possibility of focus.
