Vozes femininas na poesia afro-brasileira dos Cadernos Negros

In this paper, I propose an analysis of selected poems written by Conceição Evaristo, Miriam Alves and Esmeralda Ribeiro, published in Cadernos Negros. The main objective is to discuss identity issues in the poetic expression of these writers during the period of publication of the Cadernos. More specifically, I question how these writers participate in the social construction of a new imaginary about Afro-Brazilian women, through the expression of their subjectivities and "escrevivências". Focusing on the idea of an identity formation that starts from a personal process of interaction with the world, the reflection will be based mainly on Édouard Glissant (1997) and Stuart Hall (2006).
