SOUZA, R. M. L. de. Similarities and differences: the Black in The United States of America and in Brazil according to Alice Walker and Conceicao Evaristo. 2008. 154 f. Thesis (Doctoral) Faculdade de Filosofia Letras e Ciencias Humanas, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, 2008. The United States of America and Brazil made use of African slave labour for centuries. After the end of the slavery system both countries adopted different racial policies, with devastating consequences both to ex-slaves and their descendents. Alice Walker and Conceicao Evaristo, afro-American and afro-Brazilian writers, respectively, present in their novels an analysis of the ethnical relations in their countries, pointing out the origin of the Black community problems and proposing a way to solve them. Through the comparative analysis of both novels The third life of Grange Copeland and Poncia Vicencio under the Marxist literary criticism approach, this study aims at presenting both the common and the different aspects of the two societies. Centred on the relationship among literature, history and society, the analysis of both works demonstrates that, although apparently unlike, the two countries are extremely racist, permeated by oppressive relations derived from an economical system guided by consumerism and profit, and by a culture which does not accept difference – openly in The United States of America, and, in Brazil, disguised under the image of “racial paradise”. As a consequence, it becomes clear that the oppressive culture of both countries is so deeply rooted that neither writer is able to find a plausible solution to the problem, one that could escape from the socio-political concepts solidly built through centuries.
