Abstract
If one contrasts Brazilian Modernism with the Cape Verdean Claridade movement, a common thread that defines their identity as nation can be underlined: the counterpart of the identity of their ‘father, Portugal, which was imposed on them as colonies. If in order to exist as a nation Brazil had to ‘kill its father (Portugal), as Eduardo Loureno brilliantly states, Cape Verdean poets only had to use the imagery of Manuel Bandeira's poem ‘Pas´rgada to proclaim their ‘freedom. The present study focuses on the cross-cultural and literary relationship between the Brazilian Modernist poet, Cape Verdean poets of the journal Claridade, and the Portuguese answer to all this present in T´vola Redonda.
