Black women, Sexism, Racism, PolygamyAbstract
In this article, I analyze possible similarities in the discourses present in Niketche: uma história de poligamia (CHIZIANE, 2021) and in the issues raised by Lélia Gonzalez (2020) about racism and sexism in the essay “Racismo e sexismo na cultura brasileira” (Racism and sexism in Brazilian culture). Bearing in mind that the “text” is the object from which the meanings experienced by human practices originate, there are similarities in intentions to change the social practices of gender, class and race oppression, both on Brazilian soil and in Mozambique. The gender oppression in Niketche… and the sexist and racist issues studied by Lélia Gonzalez, make up a social similarity in the two countries, and can confer a “comparative geographical line” of practices of socio-historical abuse suffered by African women as well as their diasporas.
