Descrição: Here, Perisic takes up the question of diaspora in the texts of Afro-Brazilian women writers published in the bilingual anthology Enfim ... Nos/Finally ... Us (1994), edited by Miriam Alves and Carolyn Richardson Durham. Following Brent Hayes Edwards's notion of bricolage, she points to the generative slippages that arise when translations are juxtaposed in the printed text. She traces the relationships between gender, nation, and diaspora in this poetry as it confronts racist and sexist stereotypes. Her essay elucidates the ways Afro-Brazilian women authors challenge the exclusive association of authorship and canonization with masculinity and bring to the fore their own experiences as embodied political subjects.
