"Knowledge Production Is Always Happening": A Conversation on the Radical Legacy of the Austin School of African Diaspora Studies
Housing Justice in the Americas: Struggle and Solidarity
Um fim à negligência em relação aos problemas da mulher negra
O artigo é a tradução de um ensaio publicado originalmente em 1949, pela intelectual e ativista negra Claudia Jones na revista Political Affairs. No ensaio, Jones demonstra as origens e as múltipmas dimensões da dinâmica do sistema de opressão a que eram submetidas mulheres negras e critica a inabilidade dos comunistas estadunidenses em mobilizá-las. Ao argumentar que as mulheres negras compunham a fração superexplorada da classe trabalhadora, a …
Geographies of Power: Black Women Mobilizing Intersectionality in Brazil
In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, rarely are black women, especially poor black women, considered leaders of social movements, much less political theorists. While Afro-Brazilian women are at the very heart of the struggle for urban housing and land rights in Salvador, the prevailing image of black women, particularly those who live in poor neighborhoods, is that they lack the knowledge and political sophistication needed to organize…
Black Women against the Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil
" In Brazil and throughout the African diaspora, black women, especially poor black women, are rarely considered leaders of social movements let alone political theorists. But in the northeastern city of Salvador, Brazil, it is these very women who determine how urban policies are established. Focusing on the Gamboa de Baixo neighborhood in Salvador's city center, Black Women against the Land Grab explores how black women's views on development h…
State violence and the ethnographic encounter: Feminist Research and Racial Embodiment
This article explores the idea that black urban communities in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, particularly women, are currently under siege. This article examines the confinement and silencing of the anthropologist within the overall context of State policing of black communities and black women-led grassroots movements in Salvador. I argue that engaged research methods should be analyzed within the context of the violence of recent urbanization prac…
Brazils New Racial Politics
As the popular myth of racial equality in Brazil crumbles beneath the weight of current grassroots politics, how will the country redefine itself as a multiethnic nation? Brazil’s New Racial Politics captures the myriad questions and problems unleashed by a growing awareness of the ways racism structures Brazilian society. The authors bridge the gap between scholarship and activism as they tackle issues ranging from white privilege to black power…
If We Didn't Have Water: Black Women's Struggle for Urban Land Rights in Brazil
This article explores the relation between black women's quest for environmental justice and the struggle for urban land rights. Using ethnographic research conducted in Gamboa de Baixo, a coastal community in the center of Brazil's northeastern city of Salvador, I defend the claim that Afro-Brazilian religious thought has shaped blacks' relationship to the sea, and subsequently community politics defending their right to occupy the land alongsid…
