SUMMARY:
This dissertation aims to analyze the rise of Black comic book artists in the second decade of the 21st century, investigating its implications for representation and the construction of new narratives within the field of comic books. The main objective is to understand whether this rise constitutes a legitimate occupation of space by these artists or, on the contrary, whether it is a strategy of assimilation by the comic book market, which appropriates themes related to Black identity with the intent of commercially capitalizing on them. Furthermore, this study seeks to examine the impact of this phenomenon on the creation of new spaces for Black affirmation and on the identity formation of young Black individuals in contemporary society, observing how these productions contribute to the valorization of Afro-Brazilian culture and the strengthening of resistance discourses. Finally, a critical analysis will be conducted on the graphic novel Angola Janga: A History of Palmares, by Black comic book artist Marcelo D’Salete, with the aim of understanding whether the rise of Black artists has enabled the development of a counter-hegemonic discourse more aligned with the aspirations of the Afro-Brazilian population. Through this work, the study intends to investigate how D’Salete revisits the history of Black resistance, challenges official narratives, and offers a new perspective on the role of quilombos in the struggle against slavery and racial oppression.
