Vol. 23 No. 3 (2021): Other voices from Africa

The issue Other voices from Africa is composed of research studies by Brazilian and foreign researchers working on the literary output of authors from African countries in languages ​​other than Portuguese. Therefore, it proposes to disclose “other Africas,” 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 Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, among others. Moreover, the articles focus on themes relevant to post-colonial studies; however, not restricted to them, they also analyze the representation, in literary works, of the social markers of difference, such as class, gender, sexuality, generation, among others, separately or in their intersectionality.
