Abstract

This paper examines the novel O Meu Poeta [My Poet], written by the Cape Verdean author Germano Almeida, to propose an interpretation of laughter as a tool to decipher and analyze postindependence Cape Verdean society. The purpose of this essay is to identify, based on the definition of text as a discourse parody, its political and moral assumptions and colonial remnants in the authoritarianism that sustains it.
