This doctoral thesis aimed to analyze how ancestry, oraliture, memory, corporeality, myths, symbols and African culture, more specifically Bantu and Yoruba, construct a poetics of identity and ancestry in Black-Brazilian literature for children and young people. Understanding that literature can be a space for dialogue with the concepts of identity, ancestry, culture and cultural memory, the research was carried out by reflecting on the production of Afro-Brazilian writers and their respective works: Cidinha da Silva – Os nove pentes d’África (2009), O mar de Manu (2011, 2023) e Kuami (2011); Kiusam de Oliveira – Ọmọ-Obá: histórias de princesas (2009), O mundo no black power de Tayó (2013), O mar que banha a ilha de Goré (2014), O black Power de Akin (2020); Nilma Lino Gomes – Betina (2009); Emicida – Amoras (2018), e Josias Marinho – Benedito (2014). Based on a combination of critical approaches to the analysis of the literary text - philosophical, sociological, anthropological, historical and linguistic - we discussed how writers make a forceful analysis of the community in order to turn towards the black community itself, thus contributing to sustaining less violent and more humanized racial-ethnic relations. The research, therefore, (i) investigated the inclusion of African and black-Brazilian myths, legends and texts in works for children and young people as a “device” operated by literary language to valorize both African and black-Brazilian culture, as well as Afro-descendants; (ii) showed the construction of a poetics of identity and black-Brazilian ancestry in the chosen works, and (iii) revealed how literature and its language contribute to deconstructing prejudiced and racist narratives about black-Brazilian culture, contributing to more respectful and affectionate ethnic-racial relations. In order to fulfill our objectives, we used the considerations of Lélia Gonzales (1983), Ana Mafalda Leite (1988, 2020), Nilma Lino Gomes (2002), Maria Aparecida Bento (2002), Sueli Carneiro (2005), Heloisa Pires Lima (2005), Mãe Stella de Oxóssi (2006), Azoilda Trindade (2006), Kiusam de Oliveira (2008), Nei Lopes (2008) Kabengele Munanga (2009), José Henrique de Freitas Santos (2009), Cuti/Luiz Silva (2010), Conceição Evaristo (2011), Sandre Haydée Petit (2015), Antônio Bispo dos Santos/Nego Bispo (2015), Renato Noguera (2018) Tiganá Santana Neves Santos (2019), Luiz Rufino (2019), Muniz Sodré (2020), Eduardo Oliveira (2021), Katiuscia Ribeiro (2022), Sidnei Nogueira (2022), Luiz Valério Trindade (2022), Adinelson Farias de Souza Filho (2022).
