Este artículo contribuye a la lucha actual contra la violencia de género con un análisis de Home (2012), de Toni Morrison, y The Round House (2012), de Louise Erdrich. El artículo presenta una comparación transétnica combinada con una motivación feminista interseccional que resalta la complicidad del racismo y el sexismo, y articula una teorización de la relacionalidad dirigida a contrarrestar la disociación derivada de la violencia. Defendiendo la centralidad de las mujeres de color cuyos cuerpos son transgredidos —esterilizados, violados— en los textos, ofrece una lectura atenta de la representación indirecta de la violencia, los personajes masculinos en conflicto, símbolos ambivalentes y finales abiertos, además de la conexión con mitos afro-americanos y ojibwe. El artículo concluye que la relacionalidad es la mejor respuesta frente a la violencia sistémica de la colonialidad del género.
