BLACK INTELLECTUALS AND INTERSECTIONAL WRITING: LIBERTARIAN PRACTICES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE

Abstract

This article presents reflections on the theoretical production of black women and the expression that intersectionality assumes in these writings that deal substantially with the Global South. Tool analysis of the structural oppressions that suffocate them (Sueli CARNEIRO, 2003, 2005), the epistemes that start from the understanding of the interweaving between race, class and gender are revolutionary for conceiving policies not exclusively for one stratum but for totality of social actors. Having the need to understand the other components of society black women also need to understand themselves, and by this movement they acquire a revolutionary world view (Angela DAVIS, 2016, 2017). Creating and driven by black intellectuals, intersectional view opposition delineates libertarian and transgressing practices for a black feminist project of autonomous social justice. The analysis is operated from the reading of some works of black Brazilian and American writers and bibliographies that reference this production and characterize them. The debates that emerge from this set covering perspectives of education and political philosophy, demonstrate the need for decolonization of knowledge, since even supposedly emancipatory movements reproduce the dictates of racist patriarchal capitalism.
