O empoderamento da mulher na obra Hibísco Roxo

Abstract

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author of a new generation of writers who is writing about a Nigerian diaspora and allows us to know the history of Africa through the eyes of her own people, who once saw themselves through a rudimentation through colonial system systems. A purple Hibiscus work brings to the scene or breaking the borders of patriarchal space by projecting a space of resistance in the work. The theoretical thinking of the various feminisms: Western and Afrocentric, cultural and postcolonial studies are used for the analysis of the characters Kambili, Amaka, Beatrice and Ifeoma. Among the theorists used to build this work we highlight Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, Stuart Hall, Gayatri Spivak, Lúcia Zolin, Lioyd Brown and Chimamanda Adichie. Here, we seek to reflect, investigate and understand what are the marks left by colonization, as imposed forms of oppression and how the codification process takes place against the oppressions of gender, class and race suffered by them. From this perspective, the Adichie seeks to exhibit a Nigerian woman and the difficulties faced by them, highlighting a relationship with society, family, marriage, without a postcolonial period.
