Brazil will show its first African soap opera.

This is a reversal in the traditional flow of content. Africa normally airs Brazilian soap operas everywhere from Tunisia to South America, according to the Associated Press.

"Windeck," an Angolan soap opera, will air on TV Brasil network. The show first aired in 2012 and won an International Emmy Award. It features an almost entirely black cast, which is something that is not common in Brazilian soap operas.

The show follows employees of a fashion magazine in Luanda. The characters are mostly rich and successful, and as is common with soap operas, scheming.

The Ministry of Racial Equality said this soap is "an important framework for strengthening the identify of Afro-Brazilians."

Globo television, which is responsible for many of the country's soap operas, has been criticized for focusing on the lives of white people. Those who aren't white are either in the background or portrayed in less than flattering light.

Afro-Brazilian women took offense to the Brazilian version of "Sex and the City." The show is called "Sexo e as Negas," and the word negas can mean black women, but it can also be an inflammatory term.

Black women said the show played up hyper-sexualized stereotypes, and they accused writer Miguel Fallabela of being racist.

According to Young Voices, Fallabela said that those who were upset were just not intelligent enough to understand what he was doing.

Blogueiras Negras [Black Bloggers] joined forces to write an open letter to Fallabella.

"Your work, with a view to making financial profit, does little to create the dignified visibility of black women," the letter said. "It does the opposite. As is common in literature and dramaturgy made by white people about black people, we are treated as exotic study cases; people to be manipulated and observed."
