The process of exploratory colonization, perpetrated in Brazil and Africa, caused cultural intersections that coincided in issues such as oppression and resistance, concepts strongly linked to racial topic and the establishment of one's own identity, free from Eurocentric stereotypes. Thus, narrow comparisons between African and African-Brazilian texts seem a relevant activity, and therefore our work seeks to accomplish this parallelization, considering the characters of Cais-do-Sodré, by Orlanda Amarílis, and Ponciá Vicêncio, by Conceição Evaristo. To this end, we used theoretical framework found in Balandier (1969), Ianni (2015), Bonnici (2009), Silva (2010), Santilli (1985), among others.
