O Multicultural e o Multi-afetivo

The multicultural and the multiafective: postcolonial interweavings

Abstract

The postcolonial studies focus, as well, on the people confluence and the encounters that occur in the big cities of the world. In addition to the cultural shock, there is also a history of colonization and exploitation that created ideas and bias existing until nowadays. The Caribbean author Grace Nichols discuss in her book The Fat Black Woman’s Poems (1984) the survival of a black, fat, Caribbean woman in the London metropole by discussing notions of home, belonging, and, mostly, affective questions. With the study her work, this article proposes a postcolonial analysis that encompasses the affections these multicultural cities carry and how they are fundamental part of current world transformations.
