SUMMARY:

In view of the intensification of debates, in the last two decades, regarding the use of memory and the historical contradictions present in the historiography prepared by Frelimo, as well as the effervescence of autobiographical and biographical publications, the present work sought to weave a debate regarding control of the social imaginary created by the party and the contradictions between the official historical narrative and the possibilities of reinterpreting the country's history based on the testimonies of other Mozambicans. In this sense, the central objectives, until now, of this thesis have focused on carrying out a study on the intellectuals who were part of the liberation struggle, but who, however, were not included in the official narratives, pointing out the mechanisms of memory control collective by Frelimo and, finally, point out the importance of (auto)biographical productions and testimonies, of individuals who participated in the revolutionary process, as places of reinterpretation of the country's recent history. Until then, the documentary bases used to compose the thesis work were the collections of the Mário Soares Foundation, the Official Gazette of Portugal, the Union of Portuguese Language Capital Cities (UCCLA) and some testimonies from former participants in the liberation struggle. Therefore, the studies carried out aimed to enable an expansion of knowledge about the problems surrounding the official history of Mozambique that was written post-independence by Frelimo, as well as bringing nuances of a fruitful horizon to contribute to the opposition to the narrative hegemonies established since the emancipation of Mozambique.

Keywords: Mozambique; History of Africa; liberation struggle; deviant trajectories; underground memories.
