Abstract

This study aims to undertake an interpretation of Esperança Garcia’s letter (1770) on the relevance of the writing of black women against policies of concealment. Through analysis we have, as a result, the understanding of how their identities, such as the pattern of submission and fragility, were structured from the perspective of other points of view. In contrast, black women writers, such as Sônia Rosa (2012) and Jarid Arraes (2017), appropriate the letter to narrate resignified versions of history. Therefore, the writers propose, from their literary productions, new positive signs of black female identity from other readings and interpretations of this important historiographical trace/vestige.
