PACHECO, Ana Cláudia Lemos  e  NOGUEIRA, Martha Maria Brito. Black women: intersecting gender, race, class, culture and education. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.45, pp.89-99. ISSN 0104-7043.  https://doi.org/10.2015/jan.abr.v25n45.007.

This article analyses the trajectory of a working class black woman, Baiana de Acarajé (a female Bahian vendor of sacred Acaraje street food), who, in the Bahian city of Vitoria da Conquista, transformed into one of the greatest icons of Afro-Brazilian popular culture of the 20th and 21st centuries. The reconstruction of the memory of Dona Dió do Acarajé enables us to understand the social and cultural relationships that came through with the creation of the "Recreational Group of the Samba School Union of São Vicente" and the way traditional cultures may be preserved and re-created by valuing the symbols of local popular culture. Our approach is to scrutinize, from the perspective of Feminist Standpoint Theory (COLLINS, 1989), the intersectional axis (CRENSHAW, 2002) that brings together the range of differences and identities - gender, race, class and others - present in the social trajectory of this black woman who, through her knowledge of Afro-Brazilian culture and her work, helped to modify social exclusion practices and transform her life and community.
