| Resumo: | This work aims to analyze the violence that was generated from the event known as the Raid, present in the work Children of Blood and Bone (2018) by the Afro-American writer of Nigerian origin, Tomi Adeyemi. The violent acts described in the aforementioned work are displayed in three forms, physical, psychological and symbolic. Denoted as a massacre of the entire maji population of the kingdom of Orïsha, individuals who possessed magic blessed by the black gods and goddesses, upon awakening the kingdom's monarch's thirst for power, Saran, who was not heeded, ordered them all to be killed, sparing only children under 13 years of age. Using a bibliographic methodology, of a qualitative nature, it is based on theorists such as Žižek (2014), Saffioti (2015), Ginzburg (2017), Crittiez (2011) among others. This work is an excerpt from the dissertation, so here we seek to observe the violence generated after the Raid in which the kingdom began to be governed by a totalitarian and dictatorial regime with divines being frequently oppressed and threatened. |
