BLACK FEMINISM IN BRAZIL AND FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION: A DIALOGUE WITH NANCY FRASER'S THEORY OF JUSTICE

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the process of social invisibility suffered by black women in the light of Nancy Fraser recognition critical theory. The article presents the following problematic: How does the politics of redistribution and recognition proposed by Nancy Fraser contribute to the struggle of the black feminist movement, in order to affirm black women as an identity and political subject, enabling their equal social participation and thus promote a new normative parameter of justice? The hypothesis is based on the conception that both the study of racial relations in Brazil and traditional feminist theories ignore the demands of black women. The study is developed in three parts: a) understanding the theory of race relations in Brazil and the historical process of antiracist struggle; b) to uncover the invisibility of the black woman through the studies on black feminism; c) articulate racial and feminist studies with Nancy Fraser's theory of justice. The method is deductive, involving bibliographic research and monographic procedure.
