O artigo explora a integração nacional na Guiné-Bissau desde a independência do país em 1974. O nível de integração nacional é – no meu modo de ver – relativamente forte, apesar da diversidade étnica naquele país da África Ocidental. Como vou demonstrar, a integração nacional baseia-se na ideologia e política do antigo movimento independentista e no jovem Estado pós-colonial, que advogavam um modelo de unidade-nacional-na-diversidade-étnica. Os guineenses sabem diferenciar entre o Estado e a nação, uma distinção às vezes negligenciada nas análises. Como sugerem os resultados da minha pesquisa de campo, os guineenses vitimizam a sua nação enquanto confrontam a nação com o Estado. Uma invasão estrangeira durante o conflito militar de 1998-99 reforçou ainda mais a integração nacional.
