| Resumen en portugués | The text describes and analyzes the work Um defeito de Cor (2006) by the Brazilian author Ana Maria Gonçalves, considered one of the most important books of 21st century Brazilian literature. The idea is to demonstrate, through the memories of Kahinde / Luisa, a black woman, ex-slave, blind and on the verge of death, how the current literature produced by Afro-descendant women writers, by translating into their works an original model of race and gender, allows us to explore history from a different angle than those models usually adopted in traditional literature, making possible new representations of value and overcoming biased and exclusionary stereotypes related to race and gender. By transcending traditional narratives, carrying messages capable of translating desires for valorization and overcoming the concrete conditions of existence and emancipation of oppressed people, the literary work under analysis paves the way for decentralizing conservative discourses that historically fostered prejudiced stereotypes and made invisible the identities of black people and their struggles to conquer historically denied rights. We consider that this historical and critical literature can become a powerful mechanism of struggle in favor of the social recognition of the black race, particularly women |
