Fios de memória que atravessam o mar

Abstract

From a feminist and decolonial approach, this article intends to analyze poems by two Portuguese-speaking authors: the Brazilian Conceição Evaristo and Odete Semedo, from Guinea-Bissau. In this comparative reading, we seek to highlight aspects of gender and race that are manifested in the poetics of the two authors, who, through their writing, bear witness of violence and inequalities experienced as consequences of Portuguese colonial history.
