Abstract

The present work analyzes Antônio Jacinto’s poem “Carta dum Contratado”, a
very representative piece that references the realities experienced since Mozambique’s
colonization period. The lyrical self approaches the distance from his land and from his loved one
as well as the drama of illiteracy that are discussed throughout the text with emphasis on the
latter, bearing in mind that some critics suggest that the use of the Portuguese language to the
written production in Africa are the cause of illiteracy.
