MONTEIRO, Eurídice Furtado. Creoleness, coloniality and gender: the representations of Cape Verde. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2016, vol.24, n.3, pp.983-996. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2016v24n3p983.

This article analyses the representations of the archipelago of Cape Verde. The complexity of power relations and subordination will be observed from a post-colonial feminist perspective - contextualized in geographical, historical and cultural terms -, and will consider the intersection between the classifications of class, gender and race. This paper is a criticism of the hegemonic representations of Cape Verde and the strategy of silencing the violence of the historical colonial system.

Keywords : Gender; Race; Creolization and Colonialism.
