AMÉFRICA LADINA’S LITERATURES: A JOURNEY THROUGH BLACK LATIN AMERICAN AUTHORSHIP

Abstract

This article proposes a panoramic reflection on the black Latin American authorship literatures published in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, based on the concept of Amefricanity idealized by the Brazilian anthropologist Lelia González with the intention of presenting the Afro-Latin American dialogues proposed by the populations in forced diaspora into the colonial process of Latin America countries that speak French, Spanish and Portuguese. Based on the question raised by the researcher Jerome Branche: when, where, why and under what conditions did slavery and racial oppression produce a black conscience?, and according to the analysis of novels and poems, it will be presented the concepts of malungaje (Branche) and quilombismo (Nascimento) which, together with Amefricanity (González), confirm networks of Afro-Latin American identification, whose dialogues have surfaced with great strength in Brazilian universities due to the admission and demands of black students, mainly from the quota system. With this reflection, it is intended to help the work of university professors in the training of Brazilian primary education teachers who, through the obligatory nature of laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/11, must work with African, Afro-Brazilian and indigenous people cultures in the classroom, contributing to the education of citizens aware of the social inequalities that the colonial project imposed on non-European populations in Latin America.
