| Sumario: | In a context permeated by diverse oppressions of race and gender, the writing of black women in Brazil has historically configured itself as a potent space for the exercise of creativity and re-elaboration of its own existence, where the act of writing becomes a political act of courage. Black women writers Esmeralda Ribeiro and Miriam Alves, in their stories published in the Collective of Black Notebooks Vol. 8 (1985), go through race and gender issues, denouncing power relations, misogynist and racist stereotypes and, mainly, reworking the speeches about black women, in a writing about themselves and for themselves. In this way, this work seeks to understand - supported by the thoughts of the intellectuals Patricia Hill Collins, bell hooks, Conceição Evaristo, Gloria Anzaldua and Sueli Carneiro - the intertwining and complexities of gender and race issues encompassing the literature of Esmeralda and Miriam, and the ways in which they postulate narratives of counterconduct that shape themselves as forms of resistance to the mechanisms of power and domination as those engendered by racism and patriarchy. |
