Representatividade, subjetividade, resistência e educação de meninas negras

Abstract

This paper communicates the result of a study that produced reflections and analyses on contemporary Black women. Its main goal is to analyze the relationship among the concepts of representativeness, subjectivity and resistance from the narratives of young Black women. This research used a methodological approach that prioritized monitoring five young women from a social protection organization. Activities included participant observation and interventions in the form of workshops. Concerning the theoretical framework, the research was connected with the field of sociology of education, with an emphasis on ethnic-racial studies. The main argument of this paper is that Black female bodies are a political presupposition of social resistance to sexism and racism in society.
