Voices that echo ancestry and resistance in contemporary black female authorship collections

Abstract:

This article intends to build an aesthetic, political and cultural dialogue between two works of black literature of female authorship produced in Brazil, in a very interesting genre that is the collection, in which one observes a spraying of voices around texts written in escrevivências and ancestral meetings. The chosen books are: Coletânea de literatura feminina Negra Louva Deusas" (2012) and De Zacimbas a Suelys: Coletânea Afro-Tons de expressões artísticas de mulheres negras no Espírito Santo (2017). Following the circulation of both works and artists, we realized that these publications figured as a possibility to present and disseminate new writers, but we also realized the arising of subjective and economical emancipation, in a becoming that is artistic and of confrontation to a reality of oppression and violence, in the (re)signification of spaces, producing sharing in multiple voices and contacts for ancestry strengthening.
