This research of a bibliographical qualitative nature, aims at exposing the findings of the scientific investigation which comparatively studied A Mercy (2008), written by the North-American scholar, Toni Morrison and Ponciá Vicencio (2017) written by the Brazilian contemporary writer Conceição Evaristo, in order to list elements related to the presence of Orishas in the narratives. At the end of the study, it was noticed that there is, in both novels, evidence that are convergent to characteristics of Oshunmare, Ogun and Eshu. This latter was approached as an element that made possible the comparative reading of Afro-Brazilian and African-American Literature
