Abstract (lang="eng")
Interview between Millicent Borges Accardi and Vamberto Freitas, a prominent Azorean-born writer, literary critic, and professor at the University of the Azores. Freitas discusses the evolving landscape of Portuguese-American literature, arguing that while it is reaching a level of maturity and high aesthetic quality, it still faces significant challenges in gaining mainstream recognition in North America due to cultural peripherality and entrenched academic biases. He emphasizes the role of dual identity as a central unifying theme in this literary corpus. The conversation also highlights critical academic contributions, such as the Gávea-Brown journal and major anthologies, which are essential for legitimizing and disseminating these works. Freitas views literature as the most serious repository for ancestral memory and a vital tool for immigrants to redefine their place within the American human mosaic.
