A resistência fanoniana como constructo identitário no romance juvenil o ódio que você semeia, de Angie Thomas.

Abstract

The present study, based on the novel The Hate U Give, (2019), by African-American writer Angie Thomas, presents the main aspects of violent resistance in the work, based on the theoretical studies of Frantz Fanon (2005; 2020). The novel's protagonist, a black teenager, witnesses the murder of a young black man during a police raid. The work shows how the character managed to leave the status quo of whiteness and was able to use his voice as a weapon of retaliation. Given the above, the objective of the study is to explain what forms of revision are present in the narrative – not just through the protagonist. Furthermore, this study aims to determine how resistance, in its Fanonian materialization, contributes to the creation of black subjectivity in the process of ―becoming black‖. To this end, the methodology used in the article is bibliographic, based on research from Cultural and post-colonial Studies, philosophy and psychiatry.
