dc.description	ABSTRACT: Since the turn of the 21st century, the circulation of people from West Africa in and out of the African continent has intensified, turning Latin America into an emergent destination and transit zone. Drawing both from scholarly works and fiction, this article reflects on tropes of social becoming within a history of West African human movement that precedes present day circulation. By tropes of social becoming, I mean narratives around people realizing aspirations, in which scholars, storytellers, literary persons, and the media bring it into existence. While some of the tropes this article addresses seem to stretch to pre-colonial times, others are the product of colonial rule, and yet others emerge in times of structural adjustment. These tropes offer an entry point to understanding how present circulations of Africans in West Africa and Latin America relate to continuity and change.
dc.description	RESUMO: Desde a virada do século XXI, a circulação de pessoas da África Ocidental dentro e fora do continente africano intensificou-se, transformando a América Latina num destino emergente e numa zona de trânsito. Extraído tanto de obras académicas como de ficção, este artigo reflete sobre tropos de devir social dentro de uma história do movimento humano da África Ocidental que precede a circulação atual. Por tropos de devir social, refiro-me a narrativas em torno de pessoas que realizam aspirações, que estudiosos, contadores de histórias, pessoas literárias, e os meios de comunicação social trazem à existência. Enquanto alguns dos tropos que este artigo aborda parecem estender-se aos tempos pré-coloniais, outros são o produto do domínio colonial, e ainda outros emergem em tempos de ajustamento estrutural. Estes tropos oferecem um ponto de entrada para compreender como as circulações atuais de africanos na África Ocidental e na América Latina se relacionam com a continuidade e a mudança.
