RESUMO:

The thesis, titled Between Luanda and Lisbon: traces of the African diaspora transit in the novels That Hair and Luanda, Lisboa, Paraíso by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, aims to highlight the marks of the Afro-diasporic transit in the literary production of writer Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida, connecting diaspora and identity as a thematic and substantial element of her production, in order to point out how this characteristic is intrinsic to her identity as an author and subject of the diaspora. From this point of interest, this research presents the writing processes that highlight these characteristics in the corpus, through analysis of the approaches, narrative fragments, and discourse of the main characters in the novels. Djaimilia presents three characters – Milla in That Hair, and Cartola and Aquiles in Luanda Lisboa Paraíso – with conflicting and shifting identity markers, which are caused by geographic and, above all, cultural displacement. She also presents characters with fluid identities experiencing crises and constant transformation, factors that are possibly determined by the tension between the dissonant cultures in which they live, that is, the contrasts between Africa and Europe since the African diaspora, forced and/or induced displacements due to social phenomena and as a result of colonial processes. These individuals are referred to as “Afropeans,” a term studied by Johnny Pitts (2020) and used to name identities that emerge from the plural experiences of individuals in the diaspora, as well as from the fact that they are no longer in Africa and do not see themselves as Europeans in the Western white imagination. All these phenomena that come from the Afro-diaspora process are common themes in the artistic expressions of these individuals as people living the diaspora or in the diaspora. As writers of African descent who create Black literature on European territory, ethnic and cultural identity issues are a significant part of their artistic expressions and literary productions. This is what can be understood from the analysis of the early works of Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida. The theoretical corpus of this research is supported by the theories of Fanon (2020), Gilroy (2020), Du Bois (1990), Munanga (2018), Matta (2014), and others, who discuss the social conditions of Black individuals in the diaspora and relationships in hybrid cultures, as well as the artistic expressions of these individuals, especially in literature.
