Other voices from Africa

Abstract

The issue Other voices from Africa aimed to publicize research studies by Brazilian and foreign researchers working on the literary output of authors from African countries in languages ​​other than Portuguese. Therefore, it proposed to disclose “other voices from Africa,” that is, other literary production from the African continent not originally published in Portuguese, but sometimes translated into Portuguese, giving visibility to studies that analyze works by writers from countries, such as South Africa, Mali, Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal, and Somalia. Moreover, the articles focused on themes relevant to post-colonial studies, but, not restricted to them, also analyzed the representation, in literary works, of the social markers of difference, such as class, gender, generation, among others, separately or in their intersectionality.
