A mulher negra vai falar e numa boa: trajetória de Vera Daisy Barcellos

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the social experience of intersectionality in the lives of black women. The discussion focuses on the career of Vera Daisy Barcellos, an important black communicator from Rio Grande do Sul, who has been active for more than 50 years. Her pioneering role in the Rio Grande do Sul press, beyond the field of activism, leads to the reflection of this research, which aims to understand the intersectionality of gender and race, their manifestations in everyday practices and social experiences, as well as the interrelationships of inequalities and oppressions. The research, which is qualitative in nature and uses semi-structured interviews, also takes into account contributions from feminist thought, with an emphasis on knowledge produced by black thinkers. Finally, the aim is to contribute to ways of thinking and doing science, based on an Afro-centered, Afro Diasporic, feminist, and multiple epistemology.
