It provides a brief overview of the contemporary Timorese literary landscape and speaks to the coexistence of and links between tradition, fiction and history. It highlights the historical dimensions of storytelling in works that dialogue dynamically with the traditional narrative forms and the Timorese imaginaire, as their authors write Timor-Leste into history.

As organizadoras não nos elucidam sabre o conteúdo dos próximos volumes, limitando-se a afirmar no prólogo que se trata de urn projecto de investigaçao das diversas formas de representação da mulher má em vários países de língua portuguesa no mundo. No entanto, se á verdade que, neste volume, Portugal e o Brasil se encontram substancialmente representados, a presença do mundo african a de língua portuguesa limita-se, lastimavelmente, a um único estudo de literatura moçambicana, aliás de grande interesse temático e acuidade analítica. Resta saber se os dois volumes prometidos virão contribuir significativamente para o reequilibrar desta subrepresentação do continente africano.

Two Timorese-born writers started publishing novels in the years immediately preceding Timor's independence. Both Luís Cardoso and Ponte Pedrinha are diasporic writers, living and working in the former colonial metropolis. Ponte Pedrinha's Andanças de Um Timorense [Roamings of a Timorese], of 1998, tells the life story of a Timorese man utterly committed to the Christian faith, whose dream in life is to become a Christian missionary in Africa. Luís Cardoso's four novels since 1997 reveal his preoccupation with a cultural identity perceived as fractured and occasionally as a source of shame or at least ambivalence. His work has become increasingly more confident, as he lays colonial phantoms to rest and finds an ever more distinctive literary voice. Humour and a critical but not bitter engagement with Portugal's colonial history are the hallmarks of his work.
