Este trabalho investiga como criadores pertencentes a grupos minoritários traduzem experiências de subjugação e violência em narrativas de representatividade e empoderamento. O foco são duas narrativas de escravidão lançadas em 2016 – o romance The Underground Railroad, de Colson Whitehead, e a série televisiva Underground, de Misha Green e Joe Pokaski – que se propõem o desafio de reelaborar criticamente o passado. Nelas, Whitehead e a dupla Green e Pokaski lembram o que a América esqueceu, retratam a experiência da servidão do ponto de vista de quem a viveu e a experiência do senhor branco do ponto de vista de quem ele escravizou. Nessa perspectiva, The Underground Railroad e Underground superam o mero registro e apontam para acontecimentos e pessoas ausentes dos relatos dominantes. Para além disso, as duas narrativas inauguram espaços e tempos de resistência, já que que assumem o compromisso com a construção da memória dos Estados Unidos a partir do viés da margem e da exclusão.
