SUMMARY:

This study investigates the writings of three major authors: the poet Adão Ventura; Luiz Silva (Cuti), one of the most prominent contemporary Black intellectuals—a poet, fiction writer, playwright, and essayist; and João Henriques de Lima Barreto (Lima Barreto), a renowned author of novels, short stories, and chronicles. The selection of this triad stems from a comparative analysis of their short stories and poems, identifying similarities and divergences in the representation of the Afro-Brazilian Black experience. Based on these concepts, the study discusses how the authors depict Afro-Brazilianness in their texts—an element that dates back to Lima Barreto’s time, remains current in Cuti’s writing, and manifests densely in Adão Ventura’s poetry. Another central aspect lies in understanding how the creative output of this triad achieves legitimacy through their respective escrevivências (lived-experience writings).
