This text pays homage to the Bahian writer Jônatas Conceição da Silva. Utilizing a brief summary of his poetic work and intellectual activities, it seeks to demonstrate the strategies the author used in disseminating aspects of the Afro-Brazilian tradition, not only through his poetry but also through other intellectual endeavors, in which his commitment to disseminating Afro-Brazilian culture and history became evident. A poet who identified as Afro-Brazilian, Jônatas Conceição left a series of poems and stories in which his life history, his memory and Afro-Brazilian memory in a wider sense are presented in language that is both accessible and politically engaged. In this paper, the reader will learn about the life and intellectual production of a poet for whom writing was a way of intervening in literary, cultural and political life.Downloads
