Abstract

This article proposes literary diplomacy as a vector for a dual action: the bilateral approach between Brazil and the countries of the African continent, and the deconstruction of stereotypes historically associated with the African continent and its populations. Literary diplomacy is vital in international relations because it offers the possibility of developing a new cartography of relationships and affinities. Therefore, we present a genealogy of the semiotic construction of the inferiority and incivility of the African "other," the core of what we understand today as structural racism.
