| Sumario: | This study examines the meanings embedded in the unequal distribution of female voices chosen to narrate the novel by Lindanor Celina, a Brazilian writer born in the state of Pará, Eram seis assinalados (1994), highlighting the space destined for the black character Maria Alzira and her sorrowful trajectory. Through Candido's (2006) explanation of how external elements to the work become internal to the narrative structure, and through the contributions of feminist theorists who have advocated for the inclusion of intersectionality between gender, class, and race in gender theories, such as Gonzalez (2020), we conclude that the novel, by reserving minimal space for Maria Alzira's voice, enables reflections on the cruel treatment given to black women by society. Thus, the novelist carries out a critique of the privileges of whiteness – which she also enjoyed. |
