This article aims to analyze how postcolonialism, gender relations and intersectionality theory are configured in the short story "Replica", from the collection On Your Neck (2017), written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The objective is to understand the adversities faced by the protagonist as a black woman in a racist and sexist society, under the lens of postcolonial theory, feminist criticism and the intersectional perspective, discussed by Bonnici (2009), Hall (1997), Spivak (1985), Davis (2016, 2017), Ashcroft (2001), Akotirene (2018) and Collins and Bilge (2021).
