| Abstract: | Black characters have appeared in the creative literature of the lusophone world since the sixteenth century, when they figured in the dramatic works of the Portuguese playwright Gil Vicente. With the current surge of interest in the Luso-Brazilian world, many critical studies now shed much light on the variety of ways in which lusophone authors and filmmakers have portrayed blacks. This compilation provides sources appraising the portrayal of black characters in the literature and cinema produced by whites in the Portuguese-speaking world, with particular focus on Angola, Brazil, and Mozambique. |
