Resumo: | This article aims to discuss the role of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde (hereinafter PAIGC) in the process of building the Guinean nation-state. To this end, the conception of national states is analyzed in the context of the new independence in Africa in the 1960s to 1980s, to understand the process of building an inclusive Guinean identity in contrast to the exclusionary identity proposed by the PAIGC. The central argument is that the influences of the Pan-Africanist movements, which the party received, led to the construction, opposing it to other identities produced historically and culturally in the territory. In order to develop its argument, the article is structured into two sections. The first section will counter criticize Eurocentric claims about the African continent, highlighting its influences on modernity. The second section will highlight how the birth of the nation-state by the African party PAIGC influenced the construction of Guinea-Bissau's national identity. The choice of this theme is justified by the understanding that the construction of identities is part of launched historical processes. The partial results show how collective memories have been subordinated, but continue to claim their place in the construction of national identity. |

Para ello, se analiza la concepción de los Estados nacionales en el contexto de la nueva independencia de África en las décadas de 1960 y 1980, para comprender el proceso de construcción de una identidad guineana inclusiva en contraste con la identidad excluyente propuesta por el PAIGC. El argumento central es que las influencias de los movimientos panafricanistas que recibió el partido propiciaron su construcción, oponiéndola a otras identidades producidas histórica y culturalmente en el territorio. Para desarrollar su argumentación, el artículo se estructura en dos apartados. La primera sección contrarrestará las afirmaciones eurocéntricas sobre el continente africano, destacando sus influencias en la modernidad. La segunda sección resaltará cómo el nacimiento del Estado-nación por parte del partido africano PAIGC influyó en la construcción de la identidad nacional de Guinea-Bissau. La elección de este tema se justifica por el entendimiento de que la construcción de identidades es parte de procesos históricos iniciados. Los resultados parciales muestran cómo las memorias colectivas han sido subordinadas, pero continúan reclamando su lugar en la construcción de la identidad nacional.Este artigo objetiva discute o papel do Partido Africano na Independência da Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde (doravante PAIGC) no processo de construção do Estado-nação guineense. Para tal, analisa-se a concepção dos Estados-nacionais no contexto das novas independências na África na década de 1960 a 1980, para entender o processo de construção da identidade guineense inclusiva em contramão a identidade excludente proposta pelo PAIGC. O argumento central é que as influências dos movimentos pan-africanistas, que o partido recebeu, levaram à construção, contrapondo-a às demais identidades produzidas histórica e culturalmente no território. De modo a desenvolver seu argumento, o artigo está estruturado em duas cláusulas. A primeira seção irá contra criticar as questões eurocêntricas sobre o continente africano, ressaltando suas influências na modernidade. A segunda seção irá evidenciar como o nascimento do Estado-nação pelo partido africano PAIGC influenciou na construção da identidade nacional da Guiné-Bissau. A escolha deste tema justifica-se por entender que a construção de identidades faz parte dos processos históricos lançados. Os resultados parciais mostram como as memórias coletivas foram subalternizadas, mas continuam a reivindicar seus lugares na construção da identidade nacional.
