A sororidade e o combate à opressão nas vozes femininas de Insubmissas lágrimas de mulheres de Conceição Evaristo: Shirley Paixão, Isaltina Campo Belo e Lia Gabriel

Abstract

The present research consists of na analysis of the presence of sorority in the relation between women in the tales “Shirley Paixão, Isaltina Campo Belo e Lia Gabriel” from the book Insubmissas Lágrimas de Mulheres (2011), by Conceição Evaristo, as well, to discuss why the bond of solidarity and empathy is able to rupture with the women’s oppression, mostly black women, had been suffered daily. For that, we sought to discuss a little about how feminism was exclusionary about black women in the feminist struggle, making them create their movement, denominated black feminism. Also, it was shown about sorority and how this feeling of empathy can end female rivalry and violence. Moreover, historical concepts and characteristics of Afro-Brazilian literature were also presented, discussing how black women are represented in this strand. Through this research, the objective was to verify how the sorority process occurs among the women in the aforementioned stories, how this feeling makes them stronger and how he is responsible for culminating in a process of women's liberation. For that, a bibliographic research was carried out, using the critical authors how bibliographic contribution: Eduardo de Assis Duarte (2010), Domício Proença Filho (2004); Conceição Evaristo (2005); Lélia Gonzalez (2020); bell hooks (2021); Luiza Lobo (2007); Ana Cristina Garcia (2015); Luíza Bairros (1995); Cuti (2010); Koa Beck (2021); Telma Borges (2018); and others. Thereby, it was possible to verify how much sisterhood is present in the narratives of Conceição Evaristo, especially in the tales analyzed. It was also observed how strong this feeling is and how capable to promote womeb’s union against all oppression and sexism perpetuated in our society. Therefore, a sorority becomes a great tool for women to forget about rivalry and fight together against the patriarchal system. Thus, it is believed that this paper may contribute to future research.
