Sumario:The current article aims at studying a few iconic aspects in Conceição Evaristo’s tales, highlighting the aspect of orality and the writer’s talent as a storyteller that reflects in her writing. That’s why we chose three tales from the author: “Mansões e puxadinhos” (2017), “O sagrado pão dos filhos’ (2017) and “A moça do vestido amarelo” (2017), all from the book of tales: “Contos de leves enganos e parecenças” (2017) from Conceição Evaristo. Every tale will be analyzed from one or two iconic aspects such as: the denunciation of injustices, the depiction of resilience, the evocation of the ancestrality and the afro-brazilin resistance. To this end, we will rely on Michael Pollak’s concept of underground memories (1993) and the concept of resilience, develop by Eurídice Figueiredo (2020).
