Representation of queen Ginga in the novel J. E. Agualusa
Abstract
The article analyses the representation of queen Ginga (1582–1663) in the novel “Queen Ginga, and how Africans invented the world” (2014) by the modern Angolan writer José Eduardo Agualusa. Looking at Ginga and her reign from the African point of view, Agualusa represents the legendary queen in a new way, considering her as a complex historical figure.
