Abstract

ALMEIDA, Marisangela Lins de. IN SELF-DEFENSE: black female writing as a confrontation and transgression. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.62, pp.38-49.  Epub Feb 09, 2022. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.%y.49738.

As pointed out by Sueli Carneiro (2018), the violence perpetrated by the naturalization of racism in society, specifically Brazilian, established stereotypes, spaces and non-spaces for us, black women, moving away from the intellectual field. Based on this observation I elaborate a reflection on the structural ways that sexism and racism act in the invisibility of the intellectuality of black women. From the insurgent black feminist voices of Brazilian and americans intellectuals, such as Sueli Carneiro, bell hooks, Lélia Gonzalez and Patricia Hill Collins, I problematize the historical construction of naturalized spaces as of absence (intellectual field) and presence (mulatto, domestic and black mother) and their painful transgression process.

Keywords : black intellectuals; transgression; epistemic violence.
