“A gente foi juntando mulheres”: memórias, ativismos e insubmissões de mulheres negras cearenses

Abstract

The present research objects to analyze the process of Brazilian black women movements formation in the 80s decade, the same as its performances, goals and participations in the constructions of political projects. Focusing on the activism of Cearenses black women, I seek to perceive how these women were shaping their understanding of feminisms, black feminisms as well as how they insert themselves into the political and theoretical debate of intersectionality. The comprehension of this study also comes from these women passages in mix black organizations in Ceará, realizing, reporting and putting themselves vigilants towards the behavior marked by the misogynism, sexism and patriarchism sometimes from black partners, others during political mobilizations and in the everyday of their institutions. The theoretical reference proposed focus on the contribution of the intellectuals of the black feminist and intersectional fields, making it possible an investigation connected to the black feminine subjectivities, sensitivities and viable racist as well as patriarchal oppressor experiences. I make usage of oral story methodology, a work with semi structured interviews, through an open dialog using components that cross my being as a black woman and do not apart me from the proposed investigation, enabling to extract memories stained by misogynist situations, the same way that they are scared with group achievements and overcoming traumas. Through this research, it was possible to conclude that the antiracist institutions created by black women, only, by example of the Instituto Negra do Ceará and the Grupo de Mulheres Negras do Cariri- Pretas Simoa, are above all an initiative of constant fight in the direction of equity and justice for black women who lived the misogyny in its most vary ways, besides they are the voices of resistance which insist in echo the screams of insubordination and freedom.
