AUGUSTO, Geri. Black transnationalism: the crossroads of amefrican@s. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.45, pp.25-38. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/jan.abr.v25n45.003.

Using two personal-journey narratives of black transnationalism, the writings and ideas of seminal radical black women activist-thinkers Lelia Gonzalez and Ella Baker about the triple burden faced by black domestics in both Brazil and the USA, and the ideas and ways of life of a contemporary quilombola fishing village, as seen from a shellfisher's garden, this article reflects on the space of potential, equitable contribution to praxis and thought, as well as on the epistemic openings possible in the academy, when marginalized, multifaceted knowledges are brought in. The analysis is done using the theoretical concepts of Amefricanity, intersectionality, and ordinary affects, as well as the notion of crossroads from many African-descended traditions of belief and thought.

Palabras clave : Intersectionality; Epistemic Opening; Quilombola Ideas; Amefricanity; Black Transnationalism.
