Mulherismo Africana: Práticas na diáspora brasileira

Abstract

African Women, a term coined by Clenora Hudson-Weems (2016) is a new look centered on black African women and the Diaspora to understand, reflect and act on the antiracist struggle and survival of the black people, being it understood from an African and diasporic perspective. Starting from Afrocentric concepts of Molefi Asante (2014) such as agency and location, we seek to create a criteria specific to African women of the Brazilian Diaspora to evaluate our realities, both in the scope of thought and action. To do so, we will turn to the experience of the Afreekana/RJ Women's Cycle as a sobering element to discuss the phenomena that concerns us as black people, whose discussion is essential for the survival of the black population in Brazil. Also, we will talk about Lélia Gonzalez, Beatriz Nascimento, Marimba Ani, Ama Mazama, Nah Dove, bell hooks, Katerine Bankole e Abdias Nascimento.
