| Resumo: | This article explores the representations of Africa in selected texts by Lívia Natália and Maria Stella de Azevedo Santos (ou Mãe Stella de Oxóssi). To this end, we examine some theoretical issues concerning black people’s literature and establish discursive crossroads within which Afro-diasporic texts and contexts are intersected in search of a black voice in poetry and prose. In the literary recreation of African traditions, there are texts of new ideas and meanings that provide survival resources and stories to combat the various forms of violence imposed on black people. The creative appropriation of Afro-diasporic cultural forms by the literary imagination of black women reveals the polyvalent value of African symbols in the diaspora and its ability to lay the foundations of diverse identity discourses. |
