ABSTRACT
Carolina Maria de Jesus travels throughout Latin America to promote the book Quarto de Despejo in the 1960s. The records of her trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Chile are in Diario de viaje, an appendix included in one of the translations of Casa de Alvenaria into Spanish. On the way, the Brazilian writer produces a series of analyses concerning her impressions about each place and provides a perspective of the countries from the point of view of a black intellectual and peripheral woman from the global South. Considering the movements that Carolina makes, it is possible to compare the ways through which she affects each place where she goes and how she is affected by them, producing what we call displaceminds. It is believed that, promoting a dialogue between her experiences abroad, we not only contribute to the enrichment of the critical fortune of the author's international career, but we also discuss the relevance of the displacement of Black Latin American intellectuals through the region in order to debate it internally and unveil it in its most intrinsic themes and problems.
