Abstract
In this article I intend to raise a debate about the critical studies of Portuguese colonization, a field and method of studies in the humanities that emerged in Mozambique after the conquest of independence. This dialogue will be done by reading the first edition of the review Estudos Moçambicanos, publication that represents an important milestone in the process of maturing and consolidating the humanities in that country. For this purpose, a contextualization of the historical moment in which the publication was thought and elaborated will be made, highlighting the main characteristics of the period that became known as “transition to socialism” with special attention to the foundation of Eduardo Mondlane University and the creation of its Center African Studies, to which the review was linked. Finally, syntheses of the texts present in this edition published in 1980 will be presented.
