Abstract

This article aims to discuss the Portuguese colonies in Africa and in India from the perspective of two Portuguese novels: A casa-comboio (2010), by Raquel Ochoa, e O retorno (2011), by Dulce Maria Cardoso. Here, we will observe, in particular, what is remembered and forgotten about the metropolis and the colony and the role that what is said and what is not said by characters plays to construct specific identities.
