Hold the Sun Behind Me

Hold the Sun Behind Me (Agarra-me o Sol por Trás) is the first literary collection by Mozambican author, economist and speaker Tânia Tomé, published in 2010.

The collection received critical attention on its release and introduced a voice that explores the Black female body and its place within imperial, patriarchal and political structures.

A voice studied by researchers

Today, Tânia Tomé's poetry is studied by researchers and featured in academic work, including a chapter in the Cambridge University Press volume Lusophone African Short Stories and Poetry after Independence.
