O Brado Africano
O Brado Africano (Portuguese, "The African Scream") was a Mozambican literary magazine that was founded in 1918 by the brothers João and José Albasini and was published until 1974. It was considered the magazine in which the most important Mozambican authors began to publish their texts. In the journal, among other things, orally transmitted, later also in writing, literary testimonies in African languages , especially poetry , were published. It was aimed at the literate mongrel population, the few blacks who could read, and whites who were interested in the topics and polemics dealt with in it. O Brado Africano helped develop a Mozambican national culture . However, the magazine propagated the Portuguese language and civilization for Mozambique and turned against the strong influence of Arab civilization, particularly the Arab religion in the colony.
Due to a court ruling, the magazine was suspended from late 1932 to late February 1933. During this time her 12 issues appeared under the name O Clamor Africano ("The African Outcry"). In 1936 the magazine was temporarily banned by the Portuguese government .
