| Summary: | The purpose of this paper is to study, from a comparative perspective, the stereotypes of Black People and Black Women in the novels Brin d’amour and Histoire de la femme cannibale, by Raphaël Constant and Maryse Condé, two Antillean contemporary writers. After having introduced the methodological frame, the analysis will show the elements those stereotypes consist of, such as the actions and thoughts of characters and their relationships. Besides, characters of each novel will represent opposite views of the depicted reality, which results in an ideological antithesis. This is also the case between the main character of the two novels: Lysiane and Rosélie. The first, from the beginning, symbolises indignation and revolt against women conditions, white the second identifies herself with lack of confidence and submission. However, in the end both characters will fight for freedom. These two novels can be considered as literary acts opposed to discrimination against black people and women.
