Abstract
This article seeks to emphasize the importance of black-Brazilian children’s literature by female authorship, highlighting its unsubmissive poetics. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate authorship and how it presents its works from the point of view of social criticism. It was understood that the literary projects of Kiusam de Oliveira and Cidinha da Silva are extremely necessary for an anti-racist and anti-sexist education, which takes place in dialogue with the decolonial epistemologies that centralize black people in the literary scene, as protagonist. Based on a work with ethnic-racial issues and authorship crossed by the intersectionality between race, class, and gender, Kuami and O mundo no black power de Tayó contribute to a subjective shift capable of demonstrating the potential of this type of literature.
