IS RESISTING NEEDED? Feminisms as a form of resistance to oppression.

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the invisibility, silence, struggle and resistance of women, especially black women, since there is an urgency to consider the plurality of feminism. It is emphasized that the intersectionality between the forms of oppression corroborates the collective struggle of black women in their different ways of resisting and in the most varied spheres of power. Black women questioned the behavior of the feminist movement, introducing their categories of struggle. In the midst of this trajectory, they face the lack of recognition of their writings in academia, silencing, historically constructed stereotypes and racism delimiting the social spaces of black women. When faced with the impacts of the epistemicide, black women strengthen the collective battle and indicate the urgency of understanding gender inequalities based on a social whole. That said, when we reveal the contributions of black feminism, we are faced with a multifaceted reality, that is, a reality in which categories such as gender, class and race must be available in order to associate in order to better collaborate for the viability carrying out analyzes that ensure that they cover the complexity that describes the problem in question with greater accuracy. Do we believe that discussions like this are important to reflect on why we have to think about black feminism if it is an agenda that covers all women? We need to think about a process of socialization of black people and white people and the place that these women will occupy not only in social relations, but also in the mode of production. In addition, the countless questions that comprise writing written by women and the transition between silence and speech were considered. In this perspective, this article will bring together the most representative theorists and scholars that supported the research, among them bell hooks (2018; 2019), Collins (2019), Scott (1992), Hollanda (2019), Kilomba (2019), Perrot (1989; 2005), Ribeiro (2018), among others.
