Our research derives from reflections undertaken in the Study Group Identity, Migration and Representations that is linked to the research line Language and Culture in the Graduate Program in Sciences of Language at Unisul. In our study we propose to analyze Nação Crioula – the secret correspondence of de Fradique Mendes, of the Angolan writer José Eduardo Agualusa, through Comparative Literature, we can evidence it as a source of reflection about culture, times, spaces, among others, as well as the dialogues that are evoked. In the analysis, we observed that Agualusa, by (re)visiting the past, shows us the events that marked the period of Portuguese colonialism in Angola and the period of slavery in Brazil. As for the aspects related to language in Nação Crioula, we bring reflections about dialogism, intertextuality and polyphony, from the perspective of Bakthin, in order to observe the relations to others texts in the production of a new one and the emergence of different social voices. What called our attention during the reading the of book were the reflections involving cultural events marked by dialogue, the temporal and spatial migration, as well as the identities of interactions. In its composition, the novel is narrated by letters in which Agualusa puts into play the character – Carlos Fradique Mendes – to tell the experience and conflicts of the colonial times of Angola and Brazil, respectively. We showed that Nação Crioula can be understood as an epistolary novel that was designed through dialogue among literature, history, culture and identity.
