Abstract

This bibliographical article is based on comparative literature takes a look at power and gender relations, based on two literary works set in colonized contexts in which racialized women are the main characters. These are Sylvia Aranha Ribeiro's novel Francisca - e a utopia da liberdade (2010) and Mozambican writer Lilia Momplé's short story Ninguém matou Suhura (2013). In both narratives, the ideology of colonization predominates, in which the colonizer imposes social paradigms based on the coloniality of being, nature, knowledge and gender, insofar as these categories are thought of and related to Eurocentric, ethnocentric and patriarchal conceptions. This discussion takes place in dialogue with the two works mentioned above and with the appropriate theoretical grounding, on coloniality, power and gender Quijano (2005), Lugones (2008), Vergé (2020) on institutionalized relations, sexuality and race (Bourdieu, 2012) Foucault (1998) among other bibliographies that have provided the basis for discussions around these literary narratives.
