Until They All are Free
Este ensaio parte da minha experiência como professora de mulheres encarceradas na Prisão de Cook County, em Chicago. Atuei nos programas RESTORE e THRIVE, voltados à educação e reintegração social. Refletindo sobre o racismo estrutural e a herança da escravidão, defendo que o feminismo negro pode criar espaços de liberdade e cuidado mesmo dentro do cárcere
Between dreams, myths and reality
Domestic work, a labour market that is overwhelmingly composed of Black women in Brazil, has been rendered invisible within labour activism in São Paulo. In this article, the author explores how the myth of the São Paulo industrial labourer being a male European immigrant acts as a significant barrier to the recognition of domestic workers’ unions as legitimate labour movements. The myth manages to hide the many Black women domestic workers who k…

Centering Black Women’s Labor History in Latin America
This review article surveys recent books that explore black women’s integral role in the labor history of Latin America and the Caribbean. As emancipated Latin American and Caribbean black women transitioned away from slave labor, they faced intense, enduring racial and gender discrimination in the labor market. Despite these hostile conditions, these black women tirelessly resisted and rebelled against oppression. Moving beyond the framework of …

The world in which we live is full of distractions that are systemically mechanisms of neoliberalism but at times are of our own invention, for survival. This essay reflects on the current age by taking a look back to Black feminist wisdom of the past. It also offers a space for discourse around what we are challenged with as individuals and what we stand to gain when we focus on community
Softness in Hard Times
In this article, Jaira J. Harrington discusses the challenges faced by academia in the current sociopolitical climate, particularly regarding issues of violence, marginalization, and the limits of liberal institutional reforms. It highlights the experiences of Black women academics who navigate systemic limitations while striving to maintain their values in their professional roles while facing institutional pressure to acquiesce to the status qu…
Essential, Yet Expendable
At the intersection of racial, gender, and class marginalization, Brazilian domestic workers are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. At the height of the global pandemic, their essential worker status forced this group to commute and work in the homes of their employers instead of sheltering in place. Routinely discriminated against, undervalued, and stigmatized, Black Brazilian women are overrepresented in this profession. Black women emplo…

A Place of their own
Perceptions of gendered, black inferiority have a long history in Brazilian society and politics. Even when taking class into account, the forms of oppression that stifle conversations on racism and sexism – racial democracy and machismo – are often viewed as distinct in social movements that singly address race, gender, class, or sexuality. As shown in previous research, black women occupy a unique political space that illuminates the intersecti…
