This article focuses on this reconnection with the past with the aim of reading, questioning and analyzing traumatic memories of times past in selected works by four nineteenth and twentieth-century African American women writers (Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, Gayl Jones, and Toni Morrison) whose texts and characters carry the burden of traumatic memories and the will to share postmemories.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo O conceito de pós-memória proposto por Marianne Hirsch implica uma ligação com o passado que é indireta, mediada pela imaginação e pelo desejo, transmitida a descendentes ou gerações que não têm memória do acontecimento traumático, mas também pode remeter para um possível anseio de reconexão com o passado histórico como testemunho, recordação e memória coletiva. Este artigo centra-se nesta reconexão com o passado com o objetivo de ler, questionar e analisar memórias traumáticas de tempos passados em obras selecionadas de quatro escritoras afro-americanas (Harriet Jacobs, Zora Neale Hurston, Gayl Jones e Toni Morrison) dos séculos XIX e XX, cujos textos e personagens carregam o fardo das memórias traumáticas e a vontade de partilhar pós-memórias.]]></p></abstract>
