Black Masculinities in Rei Negro [Black King], by Henrique Coelho Neto
ABSTRACT This article retrieves the analysis of black masculinities in Brazilian literature, particularly in Rei Negro [Black King], by Henrique Coelho Neto. The historical novel is addressed as documentary content, in the perspective of Discourse Analysis, as it reevaluates black masculinities in Brazil by evoking the main character as a king, in contrast to the usual position of black men in History and in Literature. The results question social standings defined by hypersexuality and deconstruct narratives that overcome fiction, affecting daily practices.
