Victory! Chamber of Deputies recognizes Carolina Maria de Jesus as Heroine of the Fatherland

In a session held last Wednesday, 27th, the Chamber recognized the writer and now she will be registered in the important national book

The Chamber of Deputies, in a session held last Wednesday, 27th, approved a bill that aims to register the name of the renowned writer Carolina Maria de Jesus in the prestigious Book of Heroes and Heroines of the Fatherland. The initiative, proposed by federal deputy Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP), received a favorable opinion from the rapporteur Diana Santos (PCdoB-RS) and now goes to the Senate for analysis.

Carolina Maria de Jesus is widely recognized as one of Brazil’s most prominent black literary figures. Born in Minas Gerais, she spent a large part of her life in the Canindé favela, in São Paulo, where she supported herself and her three children by collecting recyclable paper.

His inaugural book, “Quarto de Despejo: Diário de uma Favelada”, released in 1960, achieved extraordinary success, with approximately 10,000 copies sold in the first week. The work has been translated into 13 languages ​​and distributed in more than 40 countries around the world.

Diana Santos, responsible for reporting on the project, emphasized that the impact of Carolina goes beyond the boundaries of literature, promoting critical awareness about the complexities of Brazilian society. “Carolina Maria de Jesus is a reference for black women, the struggle and resistance of our people”, declared the deputy, as reported by Agência Câmara de Notícias.

Promoting diversity

The relevance of the work of Carolina lies in promoting Brazil’s cultural and social diversity and combating structural inequalities. Erika Hiltonauthor of the project, highlighted the symbolic role of the writer as a bastion of resistance.

Without anything, without resources, without education, without anyone believing, she went there and produced literary science. If this is not an example to the Nation, what is?”, he asked.

However, the process faced opposition. The federal deputy Bibo Nunes (PL-RS) expressed concerns about the possible “trivialization” of the inclusions in the Book of Heroes and Heroines of the Fatherland. He claimed that there are 25 names awaiting inclusion and suggested that the criteria established by Law 11,597/07 are not being strictly followed.

Despite disagreements, the approval was widely celebrated as a tribute to the lasting impact of Carolina Maria de Jesus in the history of Brazil.
