Summary
Therefore, knowing African literature is also knowing the culture and history of the continent, which is inseparable from the history of Brazil, the country that has the largest black population outside of Africa. "We know that studying African literature in Brazil is not the same thing as studying Arabic or Japanese literature. It is part of understanding where we came from and where we want to go", says researcher Natasha Magno, founder of GELCA (Group for the Study of Literature and African Cultures), from Unicamp.
