This work aims to analyse the novel Ponciá Vicêncio (2003) by the writer Conceição Evaristo, framing it in the Afro-Brazilian literary tradition. Evaristo's poetics of the escrevivência is made in the context of the African diaspora and seeks to approach elements and social practices present in some African ethnic groups. We have a griot as a narrator, an old woman as a doma and an angorô sewing the narrative as a whole. In this sense, our objective is to verify how the memories of the slavery and African ancestry preservation are articulated. Thus, we adopted as methodology the study of the main researches on AfroBrazilian production, searching on Evaristo's text symbols linked to the ancestry. We believe that the author proposes a symbolic return to the origins of Afro-descendants as a way of raising readers' awareness and creating a new collective imaginary free of racism
