This dissertation examines representations of cultural identities and of colonial and postcolonial conditions, found in part of the Portuguese and African literary works, especially in the first decade of the 21st century. Focused in authors for whom the trip is the book (PIGLIA, 2010) and the errantry is the writing procedure, the work analyzes narratives by Ruy Duarte de Carvalho (Desmedida: Luanda - São Paulo - São Francisco e volta, 2006), José Eduardo Agualusa (Teoria geral do esquecimento, 2012, and Fronteiras perdidas, 1998), Dulce Maria Cardoso (O retorno, 2012) e António Lobo Antunes (Os cus de Judas, 1979). When confronted, these books pointed to the fact that they have risen, no matter how, from the passage of a narrative voice through a collective of significant landscapes, which lead us to the conclusion that the contemporary writer originating in the universe of portuguese language uses his tools, among other targets, to observe, reveal and challenge realities and powers that, inevitably, leads to important cultural, social and political reflections.
