A unique collection of Afro-Brazilian literature from both rising and well-known authors.

Besides Africa, Brazil is the largest Afro-descendant country, however, literature produced by Black Brazilians is predominantly unknown in Brazil and abroad. Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Short Fiction emerges from a collaborative translation project, bringing Afro-Brazilian literature to a global audience demanding Afro-diasporic literature, as well as decolonial practices and content. This unique bilingual compilation of twenty-one short stories includes both established and emerging Afro-Brazilian voices, fostering cross-cultural understanding and affirming the legitimacy of Black Portuguese, pretoguês, as a literary language. The editors each provide introductions that contextualize the works, while also engaging in theoretical debates, shedding light on the role of literary translation in language teaching and the impact of the Literary Festival of the Peripheries in forming a new generation of Black Brazilian writers.
