Title: | Refúgios dos afro-americanos cartografados na obra Between the World and Me de autoria de Ta-Nehisi Coates | Other Titles: | Places of refuge to Afro-Americans mapped in the book Between the World and Me written by Ta-Nehesi Coates | Authors: | Branco, Luís Carlos S. | Keywords: | Racism;Places of refuge to Afro-Americans;Between the World and Me;Ta-Nehisi Coates;Bildungsroman;Racismo;Refúgios das comunidades afro-americanas;Between the World and Me;Ta-Nehisi Coates;Bildungsroman | Issue Date: | 2018 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | In the aftermath of Black Lives Matter, a protest movement that arose following several deaths of young Afro-Americans at the hands of the police, Ta-Nehisi Coates, an Afro-American poet and journalist, published in 2015 the book Between the World and Me. In this work, the author maps out several places of refuge for the Afro-American urban communities, relating them with the presence of racism in the American society. My aim is to critically map out those places of refuge represented in Between the
World and Me, always keeping in mind that the author writes from an individual point of view and his experience cannot be extrapolated to the whole of the Afro-American community. No rescaldo do movimento de protesto Black Lives Matter, motivado pela morte de jovens afro-americanos às mãos da polícia, Ta-Nehisi Coates, poeta e jornalista afro-americano, deu a lume em 2015 a obra Between the World and Me. Nela, o autor traça uma cartografia literária de espaços geográficos, respeitantes a comunidades urbanas afro-americanas, que na sua co-relação com o racismo se enquadram na categoria de refúgios. Tendo sempre em consideração que não se pode fazer deduções abusivas a partir da experiência individual de Coates, extrapolando-a a toda a comunidade afro-americana, proponho-me mapear criticamente esses espaços, esses refúgios dos afro-americanos, representados na obra em apreço. |
