Women at the end of the world: race, gender and education in the Baixada Fluminense
Women. Breed. Genre. Baixada Fluminense. Black Feminism.
This dissertation has as its most particular theme an analysis of the social role of black women in the Baixada Fluminense, which includes their identity formation and an analysis of their actions in this territory. It is known that the aforementioned peripheral territory has suffered several erasures throughout history, being highlighted numerous times only in negative representations, so I consider it imperative that the current review and analysis of powerful experiences that are found in this place be done, since the Baixada Fluminense also it is a territory that educates and gives birth to great powers. I narrate the feminist trajectories, highlighting the empowerment posture of these women who have enabled social changes. I seek to understand the training process that starts from their work in their collectives and the way in which the experiences of these women and their specificities that are linked to gender, race and sexualities impact their training as social subjects.
