MARIA AND NATALINA: the representation of violence against black women in the work: ‘’Olhos d’água’’ by Conceição Evaristo
Gender violence, present in Conceição Evaristo's literature, dialogues with situations experienced daily by black women, belonging to a less favored social class. In the short stories “Maria” and “How many children did Natalina have?” the trajectory of black protagonists who are victims of sexual, verbal, physical violence and feminicide is followed. This way, the present work proposes to discuss the representation of violence against black women from the narratives of Conceição Evaristo. The research is bibliographic in nature, thus seeking a dialogue with feminist theories, such as Hooks (2015); Saffioti (2004) and Pateman (1993). Based on the analyses, it was observed that the protagonists of Evaristian short stories were violated by issues related mainly to gender, race and class.

Abstract:
Gender violence, present in Conceição Evaristo's literature, dialogues with situations experienced daily by black women, belonging to a less favored social class. In the short stories “Maria” and “How many children did Natalina have?” the trajectory of black protagonists who are victims of sexual, verbal, physical violence and feminicide is followed. This way, the present work proposes to discuss the representation of violence against black women from the narratives of Conceição Evaristo. The research is bibliographic in nature, thus seeking a dialogue with feminist theories, such as Hooks (2015); Saffioti (2004) and Pateman (1993). Based on the analyses, it was observed that the protagonists of Evaristian short stories were violated by issues related mainly to gender, race and class.
