Resumo: This work sought to present the social place of black women in colonial Brazil through the novel Úrsula (1859), by Maria Firmina dos Reis. Starting from the perspective proposed by romance studies, by Antonio Candido (2000) and Mikhail Bakhtin (2010) and from the concept of eccentricity, by Linda Hutcheon (1991), we analyze the construction of the former centricity of the black woman in coloniality based on narratives that present them as oppressed, but endowed with a voice, as in the case of Preta Susana, a character emblematic of the novel. We researched information about identity, social role, colonialism, sexism, racism and slavery, conveyed in the works of Aimé Césaire (2020), Audre Lorde (2021), Beatriz Nascimento (2021), Frantz Fanon (2022; 2023), Grada Kilomba (2019), Neusa Santos Souza (2021), Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí (2021) and Sueli Carneiro (2011), seeking to understand the recognition of black women as a historical subject to, ultimately, prove the thesis that exclusion and racism were and still are political and social movements that persist in contemporary times, in order to provoke the silencing and marginalization of black people. To collect data regarding publications by black women, we used the publishers Ananse, Malê and Mazza. The theoretical analysis of the novel was supported by the considerations that Luiz Mott (1988) and Mary Del Priore (2000; 2001) make about black people in the context of the colonial period, also addressing the concept of Intersectionality and black feminism, by Angela Davis (2016), bell hooks (2023), Lélia Gonzalez (2020), Patricia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge (2021). Finally, we also seek to problematize the concepts of necropolitics, discussed by Anchille Mbembe (2018), of whiteness, by Cida Bento (2022); of sex, power, repressive and disciplinary devices, by Michel Foucault (1997; 2023); of male domination, by Pierre Bourdieu (2002) and of prison and colonial and patriarchal violence, by Rita Segato (2021; 2022). Concepts in the novel are related to the figure of the antagonist and slave owner, Fernando P.
