A HISTÓRA ALIMENTAR DE MAMADU ALIMO DJALÓ NA GUINÉ-BISSAU

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis of Mamadu Alimo Djaló's food life experience and its specific nuances within the diverse cultural landscape of Guinea-Bissau, using a multidisciplinary approach where aspects related to food are investigated through direct interviews with Mamadu, providing a personal and intimate insight into his relationship with food, as well as an analysis of the social contexts that shape and influence food practices in the country. Furthermore, a review of existing literature on the social and historical contexts of Guinea-Bissau complements this research, providing a solid foundation for understanding the factors that shape local eating habits. This study aims not only to describe Mamadu's eating habits but also to contextualize them within the broader panorama of the region's history, culture, and food traditions. By exploring the influences on Mamadu's diet, from his ethnicity to his religion, it is intended to offer an enriching analysis of the intersection between cultural identity, religious beliefs, and food practices in Guinea-Bissau.
