A representação do feminismo negro no romance Ponciá Vicêncio de Conceição Evaristo

Abstract

This monograph aims to give a brief reflection on the novel Ponciá Vicêncio, by the author Conceição Evaristo. For this, we take into account the reflections of some authors (Constância Lima Duarte, Angela Davis, Marcos Antônio Alexandre, Flavia Santos de Araújo, Cristiane Cortês, Petrônio Domingues, Bell Hooks, Omar da Silva Lima, Barbára Araújo Mahado, among others) on the struggles waged by black women in the world and the Black Feminist movement in Brazil. To arrive at the analysis of the novel, we seek to bring a brief clipping regarding the feminist struggles in Brazil and in the world, as well as the origins of the Black Feminist Movement in our country. We also emphasize the importance of women writers in our national literature, be they white or black, giving more prominence to the writer Conceição Evaristo. And in the production of the analysis we made use of the experiences and searches for a lost identity of the protagonist Ponciá, descending character of slaves and that lives in the period after the abolition of the slavery.
