Summary
I would like to start by stressing the scientific framework of the present essay: the “cognitive analysis”. From the theoretical point of view, 80’s onwards, in the sense of deconstruction of post-colonial studies, in terms of gender, were raised fundamental questions regarding knowledge production: who produces it, in what social and political conditions is formulated the discourse and to whom this knowledge is intended In this sense, it is advisable to introduce the discussion proposed by the cape-verdean Crispina Almeida Gomes, that relates those factors to a specific kind of racism – the racism of “intelligence”. Considering the vast territory, many ethnicities and cultures, I approach in the present cognitive analysis the studies of Nigerians authors that highlight the gender conceptions in Africa
