Resumo
Tendo como base de análise obras da autoria de Mia Couto, este trabalho focará a história e o passado de Moçambique, bem como o presente e a perspetiva do futuro. Assim, o colonialismo português, a luta pela independência, a guerra colonial, a guerra civil, os diferentes planos político-económicos que opuseram a FRELIMO e a RENAMO durante os dezasseis anos que a guerra civil durou, as divergências entre as zonas rurais e as zonas urbanas do país, as diferentes aceitações da modernidade versus tradição, a condição feminina moçambicana no seio da sociedade, as divisões étnicas, bem como, as marcas do passado que se podem ver refletidas no rosto do povo moçambicano, serão pontos referenciais para a elaboração deste trabalho. As fragilidades psicológicas e físicas do povo moçambicano estão refletidas nos livros de Mia Couto, assim como as soluções para contornar as múltiplas adversidades da vida às quais o povo moçambicano teve de se adaptar.
A literatura pós-colonial e o surgimento de movimentos literários como a Negritude e o Pan-africanismo, como resposta direta às atrocidades do colonialismo, mas também como forma de afirmação do povo moçambicano serão também referidos neste trabalho. A literatura da autoria de Mia Couto tem papel fundamental para divulgar a cultura moçambicana, cuja imagem está marcada pelo passado, ocupando um lugar fundamental na história do desenvolvimento do país.
