Violence against women, racism and resilience mechanisms in contemporary black british women literature: Bernardine Evaristo
Parole chiave:
Literatura negra de mujeres, hermandad, Bernardine Evaristo, Resilencia, Racismo, ViolenciaAbstract
Este artículo puede ser de interés para aquellos interesados/as en la literatura contemporánea escrita por mujeres que se centra, principalmente, en la identidad, en la violencia contra las mujeres, el racismo y la capacidad de resiliencia para superar algunos traumas tanto del paso como del presente. Las mujeres británicas, representadas aquí como personajes femeninos en los textos de Bernardine Evaristo aquí seleccionados, Girl, Woman, Other (2019) y Manifesto: on Never Giving Up (2021), o incluso a través de experincias de la propia autora, desarrollan mecanismos de resiliencia para superar las situaciones traumáticas que han sufrido debido a episodios violentos y/o racistas. Además, en este estudio se han abordado algunas reflexiones sobre la literatura negra escrita por mujeres, en general, así como también, y más específicamente, sobre escritoras negras británicas y su “hermandad”.
