Black Childhoods in the Literature of Conceição Evaristo: Memory, Ancestry and Homelessness

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The literature of Conceição Evaristo summons us to observe and listen to multiple perspectives, to a communion of voices of children, elders, blacks and women. Drawing on contributions from the social studies of childhood, from the field of studies entitled “Gorée’s Childhoods,” and from the thinking of post-colonial and decolonial philosophers and researchers, we seek to explore the author’s “writings,” paying attention to the experiences and imaginaries of black childhoods. In this journey, particular ways of relating to notions such as temporality, memory, agency and homelessness are highlighted.
