Writing the Nation Beyond Resistance focuses on the representation of the Portuguese colonial war by two filmmakers belonging to different generations, Margarida Cardoso (a Costa dos Murmúrios / The Murmuring Coast) and Manoel de Oliveira (Non ou a Vã Glória de Mandar / No, or the Vain Glory of Command).
The article by researcher Adriana Martins (Universidade Católica Portuguesa) brings some insight on the regard of Cardoso over the ghosts of the Portuguese colonial war.
