description Taking as a starting point the work of Aimé Césaire in his decisive formulation of the concept of négritude, I propose a reflection about this concept in different historical moments, answering to political and cultural demands of each context. Thus, this article intends to focus on two feminine poetic voices that, in different ways, echo the principles of négritude, reinterpreting it in its specific agendas: Noémia de Sousa inserted in the Portuguese and African environment of the 1950s, and the Brazilian Singer Luedji Luna, Who ressignifies central issues of the same theme in the Brazilian context after affirmative actions. Through the approach of these two voices of diasporic Black women, I intend to identify transnational networks of planetary solidarity construction in a feminist perspective.
