Abstract
This article delves into the novel Niketche: uma história de poligamia by Paulina Chiziane, through the lens of black feminist thought and contemporary social theory, with a focus on the intersectionality of race, gender, and class proposed by Patricia Hill Collins in Pensamento feminista negro (2019). Chiziane's work centers on the journey of Rami, a black character married to Tony, a renowned police officer, and explores her experiences in a society marked by patriarchy. In this context, literature serves as a privileged zone to explore social and identity issues, providing a deep insight into the complexities of the experiences of Mozambican black women. Therefore, the novel reveals the cultural diversity of Mozambique and the common oppressions faced by women in the country, a theme explored in this paper. The text discusses the construction of female identity, women's resistance to patriarchal structures, and the importance of sisterhood, which is fostered through dialogue and the creation of a safe space.
