Revelar uma Europa negra, apagada das narrativas oficiais, é o que propõe o autor luso-cabo-verdiano Joaquim Arena, que revisita a presença de africanos e seus descendentes no continente europeu por meio do livro Debaixo da nossa pele (2017). A partir de viagens por Portugal, arquivos e relatos, o escritor reconstrói trajetórias de personagens negros pouco conhecidos. A jornada também se cruza com a história da migração cabo-verdiana para Lisboa e com a trajetória do próprio escritor. Notícias relacionadas:Escolha de livros didáticos para educação infantil começa nesta terça.Poeta e escritora canadense Anne Carson ganha o Nobel de Literatura.Prêmio Jabuti anuncia finalistas da edição 2026; confira a íntegra.Arena nasceu na Ilha de São Vicente, em Cabo Verde, em 1964. É filho de pai português e de mãe cabo-verdiana e viveu grande parte da sua vida em Lisboa. Em Portugal, ele se formou em direito e iniciou a carreira em jornalismo. O escritor está no Rio de Janeiro para participar do Clube de Leitura do Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil (CCBB-RJ), no centro da capital fluminense, às 17h30 desta quarta-feira (14). Autor de seis romances, traduzidos em várias línguas, Arena escreveu Siríaco e Mister Charles, vencedor do Prémio Oceanos de Literatura, na categoria Prosa, em 2023. Atualmente, reside em Cabo Verde, na cidade de Praia. Cabo Verde e Brasil Com o tema “Romance histórico: onde a realidade encontra a ficção”, o encontro gratuito propõe uma conversa sobre memória, pertencimento, identidade e as marcas do passado colonial que permanecem no presente. A partir da obra de Arena, o evento busca aproximar experiências históricas e culturais de Cabo Verde e do Brasil, dois países atravessados por deslocamentos populacionais, encontros entre diferentes culturas e pelas relações entre África e Europa. O autor conta que Debaixo da nossa pele fala da miscigenação e da circulação dos povos da África para a Europa. O público poderá perceber semelhanças com a formação do Brasil. “Debaixo da nossa pele fala dessa condição humana de deslocamento das pessoas de um país a outro, levadas por questões econômicas, sociais e políticas. O livro faz essa síntese, pois a circulação continua ainda hoje, é positiva, abre oportunidades de novas janelas de vida para muitas pessoas”, diz Arena.

Foto: Tomaz Silva/Agência Brasil Preenchendo vazios Para o escritor, a história tem um poder atrativo mais forte do que o presente. “Sou levado a encontrar, no meio dos fatos históricos, os vazios. São esses vazios que eu pretendo preencher através da minha ficção. Aproveito episódios verídicos que são muito inspiradores para que nós imaginemos uma personagem. Fico com vontade de saber mais, senão eu invento a personagem”, afirma o autor. Arena conheceu a literatura brasileira aos 12 anos, com a obra de Jorge Amado. Ele se identificou com o livro Meu pé de laranja lima, de José Mauro de Vasconcelos, que também fez parte da sua formação. Para ele, foi uma porta de entrada de uma literatura que não era portuguesa, europeia nem africana. “Nós, das antigas colônias portuguesas, recebemos a literatura brasileira como uma janela para um mundo muito semelhante ao nosso". "Jorge Amado, com sua Bahia, está na formação de muitos autores lusófonos na África. Depois, vamos crescendo e encontrando Guimarães Rosa, José Lins do Rêgo, Graciliano Ramos. O romance da década de 30 fala dos retirantes, da seca. É uma realidade muito próxima da nossa”, diz Arena. O autor acredita que um clube de leitura é um reduto onde se mantém ainda uma magia e em que se ouve falar de invenções. “Há um pacto do autor com o público. O escritor sabe que o que ele inventou não existiu. O leitor sabe que o romance saiu da imaginação. Isso cada vez mais num mundo acelerado, com redes sociais, com streamings”.
