1952

Miriam Aparecida Alves (born 1952) is a Brazilian writer, activist and poet.

She was born in São Paulo, and began writing at the age of eleven after she bought herself her first typewriter at eighteen.

She earned a degree in Social Work and worked as a social worker for the city of São Paulo.

Her writings mostly covered race and gender issues, including the European beauty standard in Brazil and women's roles in the social construct.

1980

Alves was a member of Quilombhoje, a group of black writers who published a series of anthologies Cadernos negros (Black notebooks) from 1980 to 1989.

She was an editor for the bilingual volume Enfim...Nos, Finally...Us, which was the first work to be published by an Afro-Brazilian after Quarto de Despejo by Three Continents Press.

This book was a collaboration of poems from eighteen different Afro-Brazilian women.

1982

She was co-author with Arnaldo Xavier and Cuti (Luiz Silva) of a play Terramara (1988).

1995

She also presented her work called Resgate in Vienna, Austria in November 1995.

Miriam Alves had a difficult time publishing her work due to the closed off atmosphere Brazil contained toward Afro-Brazilian writers.

Her works not only showcased her activist role against the racial divide but also emphasized the experiences she faces as Afro-Brazilian woman.

She also edited Escritoras Negras Brasileiras Contemporaneas and Contemporary Black Brazilian Women Writers, published in 1995.

Her works have been translated to English and German.

Her other works include: Brazilian Women Writers: Dual Brazilian-English Poetry Anthology, published in Colorado, USA (1995) and "Women Righting - Afro-Brazilian Women's Short Fiction", Short stories (2005).

2010

She traveled to the Portuguese school at Middlebury College in 2010 where she taught culture and Brazilian Literature classes.

Due to her heavy influence with Quilombhoje literature, she was a special visitor to the University of New Mexico.

She also participated in debates about Afro-Brazilian literature and feminism at the University of Texas, the University of Tennessee and at the University of Illinois.

Due to her international travel she is a part of movements like the Contemporary Afro-Brazilian Literary Movement in the United States; Moving Beyond Boundaries: International Dimension of Black Women's Writing in England; and Black Poetry in Germany.

Along with other books like Brasilafro Autorrevelado (2010) and Mulher Mat(r)iz in 2011.

"Birth"

A deaf drumming

hurts to hear

To live to live

trapped in the cage

female bird

I've already seen the infinite

I was constellation

Now I'm a wandering asteroid

shooting star

I divided myself in two

Divided in order to not be subtracted

I stayed whole if dented in each piece

I cried because I was being born

2016

She was inaugurated into the Municipal School for Professor Miriram Alves of Macedo Guimaraes in March 2016.
