“War is not Measured by Uniforms or Rifles”: Resisting Portuguese Colonial Wars through “Marginal” Sexual Behaviors
The State’s rhetoric and its ideology are spread throughout the islands
This ideology is one that produces “a people subjugated by unquestionable obedience”5 (29) and that has, as a basis, “‘GodFatherland-Family,’ a trinity turned dogma, undisputed authority over the nation’s present and future, as stated on the April in Portugal poster”6 (29)
Summary
Title “War is not Measured by Uniforms or Rifles”: Resisting Portuguese Colonial Wars through “Marginal” Sexual Behaviors. João’s homosexuality is something forbidden, and Álamo Oliveira’s decision to bring it at the literary level into relation with the colonial wars is worth exploring.
