摘要

This chapter engages the political processes, organizations and militancy of the 27 Black women traveling together by bus to the Third Latin American and Caribbean Feminist Encuentro in Bertioga, São Paulo. By examining the strategic aspects of Afro-Carioca women’s struggles and developments over the past 40 years (1980–2020), the chapter’s gives new insight into how Black women forge political alliances to challenge dominant societal forces including racism and sexism. To deepen our analysis, we will set our sights on the trajectory of these 27 black women from different organizations, such as the political school (IPCN), the Agbara Dudu’s Afro Group and associations from the favelas and peripheries. In this way, we forward a methodology to shed light on the historicity of the Afro-Carioca women’s movement through their memories. The study of trajectories certainly offers us the possibilities of understanding the political projection and empowerment of these Black women. Therefore, it is prudent to preserve the narrative legacy of these women.
