Reviews

'Prof. Silva's manuscript will fill an important gap in Lusophone and postcolonial studies. It is an original study that groups together an important group of texts and discusses them in relation to their critical positionality regarding colonialism and coloniality.' Antonio Luciano de Andrade Tosta, The University of Kansas
