This essay seeks to contextualize the historical upheaval of the 1980s, a period in which most of the narrative by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, Luanda, Lisboa, Paraíso (2019) takes place. Juxtaposed with colonization, the Portuguese Salazar regime and the colonial wars of liberation in African countries, the aim is to outline considerations about current masculinities, as well as their paradigms and subversions, highlighting the characters of the novel, namely Cartola and Aquiles. To this end, we resort to the studies of Rosas (2001) in order to provide a perspective on the Portuguese Estado Novo; of Lugarinho (2017), which traces the appearance of masculinities in some literary productions from the PALOPs; and Stanley (2019), whose work allows us to establish parameters between global fascist regimes and Salazar’s dictatorship in Portugal. Other studies are mentioned for the preparation of this work, but those already mentioned are basic because they allow us to put into perspective the construction of the main characters of Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida’s novel.
