We live in a globalized world, full of innovations in all spheres of society, thus challenging interdisciplinarity in the academic-scientific space. In this volume the linguistic variation of the Portuguese (4 chapters) and the palopian literature (6 chapters) are discussed, which interact with a harmonious dialogue. Thus, it is observed that the Portuguese language spoken in Africa gradually distances itself from the European variety and presents its own linguistic characteristics at the phonetic-phonological, syntactic, semantic, lexical and pragmatic levels. The 'palopian' literature acquires more and more its own identity, giving rise to a genuinely African literature with its own characteristics. This trend is proven through several studies that will be represented here. The Portuguese Speaking African Countries (PALOP) is multilingual and multicultural. This multiculturalism has some influence on how Africans speak or (re) tell their realities. No African born and raised in that context can express itself as it is spoken in Portugal, which means that the PALOPs adopted Portuguese and make use of it according to local realities. The educational system has faced failure due to the copying of foreign teaching models and without rethinking the local reality. It can be seen that the educational situation in PALOP is complex and, therefore, some voices (such as we will read in this book) have focused on bilingual education as a possible measure to eliminate school drop-out, increase the self-esteem of students and communities where several native languages ​​are spoken. In this sense, this work brings together works of researchers that fundamentally discuss issues internal and external to African languages; the situation of Portuguese in Africa and its variation; and also debates about literature and its meanings in the space of the PALOP under the analytical perspective of Africans and Brazilians.
