O presente trabalho visa refletir sobre as consequências do imperialismo europeu em uma cidade africana fictícia, inspirada no Zaire, representada por V. S. Naipaul na obra A Bend in The River (1979). O artigo investiga a falta de integração entre as diferentes esferas sociais que se formaram no leste da África, a partir da imigração de indianos e asiáticos como indentured workers, trabalhadores contratados. Serão analisados trechos do romance que possuem como foco as consequências dos relacionamentos inter-raciais vividos entre diferentes personagens. A conclusão é que A Bend in the River demonstra que a política de dividir para governar, posta em prática pelos europeus, influenciou a construção de uma sociedade fragmentada, desigual, hierárquica e determinista. O pessimismo de Naipaul corrobora a ideologia racista do colonialismo, que prega a pressuposição pelo negro africano da superioridade do branco europeu, reafirmando o seu direito de oprimir e dominar os povos colonizados. O campo teórico é constituído com base nos estudos de Avtar Brah, Edward Said, Michael Gorra.This work aims at reflecting upon the consequences of European imperialism in a fictitious African city, supposedly situated in Zaire, represented by V. S. Naipaul in A Bend in the River (1979). The article investigates the lack of integration between different social spheres, which were formed in East Africa, after the immigration of Indians and Asians as indentured workers. Different excerpts of the novel that focus on the consequences of the inter-racial relationships between different characters in the narrative will be analyzed. The conclusion is that A Bend in the River reveals that the divide and rule policy, put into practice by the European colonizer, influenced the construction of a society that is fragmented, unequal, hierarchical and deterministic. Naipaul’s pessimism supports the racist ideology of colonialism, which preaches the assumption by the black Africans of the superiority of the white Europeans, reaffirming the latter’s right to oppress and dominate the colonized people. The theoretical field is based on the works of Avtar Brah, Edward Said, Michael Gorra
