• Abstract:

  The Brazilian black feminism emerged within the context of the tensions at the core two former social movements, that is, women’s movement and black one. Both movements, however, were blind to an existent but systematically subalternated subject category in them, the black women. Whereas women’s movement targeted particularly the overcoming of man’s domination with its different forms in Brazilian society, the black movement focused on combatting racism. The problem is that in women’s movement the question of racism did not have a place, while in black movement women’s issues were always silenced in the name of movement’s unity. A critique to this structural blind spot in both movements, which put aside the particular experience of discrimination and domination of black women, was at the origin of Brazilian Black Feminism. This paper aims at elucidating this dynamic with the help of Gilles Deleuze’s dialectic of molar and molecular.
