This research study analyzes the short stories “Ana Davenga” and “Maria” from the black motherhood perspective. It considers that Conceição Evarito’s writing, in a gynocentric perspective, adopts “a double-voiced discourse” as proposed by Showalter, building the narrative over the perspective of the black women – a silenced speech – denouncing gender, race and class oppression and supporting the valorization of black women inside and outside the literature realm. Exploring the complexity of black motherhood, the study draws from afro-Brazilian literature, taking the argument from authors such as Eduardo de Assis Duarte, Miriam C. dos Santos and Conceição Evaristo, from black feminism and decolonial thoughts evidenced by Patrícia Hill Collins, Lélia Gonzalez and Grada Kilomba and from feminist literary critics as elaborated by Rita Terezinha Schmidt and Elaine Showalter.
