This research deals with the work of the three main references of Afro- descendant literature produced in the 20th century in Peru: Antonio Gálvez Ronceros (Monólogo desde las tinieblas), Gregorio Martínez (Canto de sirena) and Lucía Charún-Illescas (Malambo). It is proposed to analyze the work together of these three authors in order to establish the common features they share. A comparative analysis of the discursive and linguistic strategies used in these works is carried out. Together, these three works share the common goal of problematizing the traditional representations of the Afro-Peruvian subject through a linguistic awareness of the nature of the literary object. Likewise, the importance of the tradition of popular comic culture, under the forms of carnivalized literature described by Bakhtin, is considered in the fictional universes of the works of these authors, and not only in the work of Gregorio Martínez, as traditionally It has been affirmed
