This article presents a comparative analysis of A Autobiografia do poeta-escravo, by Juan Francisco Manzano (2015) and Eu, Tituba: Bruxa negra de Salem, by Maryse Condé (2020), evidencing some of the differences and similarities between them since both narratives report the lives of enslaved individuals during the 17th and 18th centuries, in the event of Tituba, and 19th century for Manzano’s. Even though they are distant in time and space, and also considering the fact of Tituba's autobiography being a work of fiction written by Maryse Condé, the authors/narrators demonstrate strategies that coincide with what Depestre (2001) characterized as marronnage cultural, concept also developed by Coelho (2020) under the name of pedagogias da cimarronaje, which notoriously extends to literary writing. Thus, we aim to point to those aspects, common to the Caribbean literatures, seeking a reinterpretation of the History of Black peoples in diaspora in the Americas.
