Metamorfose das feridas:

formação diaspórica na literatura contemporânea de Língua Portuguesa

Abstract

This article presents critical readings of poems by contemporary writers Conceição Evaristo, Conceição Lima and Fernanda Bastos. The proposal is to think about how contemporary Portuguese-language literature has created a field of diasporic formation. Taking history as a point of inspiration, the works of these poets have composed a robust anthology that expands the studies on cultural identities and nation. In these poems, the exhibition of colonial pains establishes a body of presence that makes this contemporary lyric in Portuguese a necessary text for anti-racist literacies.
