An analysis of the poetic work Sangue Negro (2001) is proposed from discussions on ethics and aesthetics, based on propositions by Schiller (2002), Valcárcel (2005), Fanon (2005), and Walty (2018) to analyze political-ideological pretensions that echo in the plural voice of Noémia de Sousa. This writer is one of the pioneer voices of modern Mozambican poetry, which, in the mid-20th century, echoes resistance: her poems question social structures, repression against women, and, above all, the process of independence and political liberation of this Portuguese colony. In the context of the “new Mozambican poetry”, the writer inaugurated her own diction, profoundly influencing her contemporaries. Noémia de Sousa’s literary gesture presupposes the collective voice of Mozambique, whose sound echoes in the violent scenario split by colonization.
