RESUMO

Abstract This paper aims at exploring the findings of an investigation which comparatively studied A Mercy (2008), written by the North-American author, Toni Morrison and Ponciá Vicencio (2006), written by the Brazilian contemporary writer Conceição Evaristo, in order to list elements related to the presence of Orishas in the narratives. At the end of the study, we noticed that there is, in both novels, evidence that are convergent to characteristics of Oshunmare, Ogun and Eshu. This latter was approached as an element that enabled the comparative reading of Afro-Brazilian and African-American Literatures from the perspective of the crossroads pedagogy.
