SUMMARY:

The imposition of the English language as norm of prestige during the British settling resulted in significant variations and changes in the English spoken in the colonized regions, originating new uses of the language. Therefore, the normative version was replaced by a discourse adapted to the places where the colonies had been established, as a recognition and appreciation of their own cultures and identities. The post-colonial literature emerged to question and deny concepts imposed by the imperial power, such as a standard linguistic code that should be privileged. One example of post-colonial literature is Kehinde (1994), written by the Nigerian writer Buchi Emecheta (1944-2017). This work intends to present a commented translation of Kehinde, investigate and answer which strategies of post-colonial literature are used by the author and how the linguistic and cultural aspects in the text could be translated. Thus, examples will be presented with excerpts from the translation compared to excerpts from the source text, with the aim of offering translation alternatives for Kehinde, in the Brazilian context. Furthermore, since post-colonial literature is not so translated, especially to Brazilian Portuguese, this work can contribute for future translations of postcolonial texts.
