Encruzilhadas da resistência: trajetórias de militantes negras em Sergipe (1980-2000)

Abstract

The dissertation Crossroads of Resistance: Trajectories of Black Women Activists in Sergipe (1980–2000), developed within the Graduate Program in Sociology at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), aims to understand who the Black women activists were and how they acted during the period in question in Sergipe, the networks they established, the conflicts and mediations involved, and the ways in which they contributed to the construction and struggles of the Black movement and the Black women’s movement in dialogue with regional and national organizations, with a focus on social transformations. To this end, the study adopts the methodological approach of the concept developed by Conceição Evaristo, Escrevivência, to understand these trajectories, and is grounded in the perspective of Black feminism in Brazil and the United States, as well as in the trajectory of Black women’s movements, drawing on authors such as Gonzalez (2018), Collins (2019), hooks (2019), Ribeiro (2022), Carneiro (2018), among others.
