RESUMO

The goal of this thesis for a PHD degree is to demonstrate the extent of commitment to afrodescendent ethnicity mainly in the books Ponciá Vicêncio, by Conceição Evaristo, and Leite do Peito, by Geni Guimarães. This study, related to the line of research Representation in Contemporary Literature, was based on the comparison of the theories of gender and narrative theory with several contributions of ethnic studies. It is supported by the following approaches: the contribution of white and black authors in the construction of Black or Afro- Brazilian Literature; the study of the biographical and literary aspects (life, books and writing styles) of Conceição Evaristo and Geni Guimarães; the mixture of afro elements with the ingredients of the selected for the present study narratives; and, finally, the feminist and gender theories, by following the trajectories of the black protagonists Ponciá and Geni and the secondary character Bilisa, from the corpus, in the private and public spaces. We concluded that the authors were writing from the perspective of a black author, committed ethnographically, valuing the visibility of the African Diaspora, and denouncing racial prejudice, which impedes the great dream of a more just and equal society for all.
