Abstract
Este ensaio aborda a produção literária de intelectuais que se opuseram ao colonialismo português em África, reconhecendo o papel ativo que tais produções tiveram na história, os processos culturais e políticos que as influenciaram e suas repercussões. A trajetória da escritora são-tomense Alda Espírito Santo constitui uma oportunidade para pensar como múltiplas opressões (de classe, raça e género) foram experienciadas na época, assim como para repensar a marginalização destas intelectuais em relação aos colegas e companheiros de luta seus contemporâneos. Representa, ainda, um pretexto para pensar os limites da ideia de unificação das lutas que tem permeado algumas construções discursivas.
