| Resumo: | Based on two characters from American literature, themes such as loneliness and heterosexist violence will be discussed. It will be possible to visualize the strength of the literature of James Baldwin (2018) and Maya Angelou (2020) when establishing possible analytical bridges with black feminist theorists such as Patricia Hill Collins (2019) and bell hooks (2019, 2020). In times of Black Lives Matter, featured writers are assured a place in the relentless struggle against oppression of all kinds and through characters such as Rufus Scott and Coleridge Jackson, James Baldwin and Maya Angelou (respectively) draw attention to the crossroads of oppressions that can be established in the interpersonal relationships of black people. |
