Resumo

In this paper we aim to investigate how black women from different African diasporas experience and manifest (in the sense of manifest, denunciation), in their time-place, structural oppressions related to colonialism, such as racism, sexism, and classicism (KILOMBA, 2019), breaking with the hegemonic discourse and the colonizing perspective on their bodies, their identities and their sexuality (COLLINS apud BERTH, 2018). In order to do so, we intend to analyze the different experiences of these characters, considering the Brazilian sociocultural context in the short story “Maria”, from the work Olhos d’Agua (2016), by Conceição Evaristo, and the diasporic context between Nigeria and the United States in the short story “The Thing Around Your Neck”, from The Thing Around Your Neck (2017), by Chimamanda Adichie, observing how female characters are silenced and how they face this silencing. The choice of these authors and their works stems from a latent need in the contemporary perspective of looking at gender issues intersected with race and class without the need to hierarchize them (RIBEIRO, 2019), as these categories intersect in the perspective of feminism black, seeking to break with a split created by an unequal, patriarchal and heterosexist society.
