For most of the twentieth century, Brazil was widely regarded as a racial democracya country untainted by the scourge of racism and prejudice. In recent decades, however, this image has been severely critiqued, with a growing number of studies highlighting persistent and deepseated patterns of racial discrimination and inequality. Yet, recent work on race and racism has rarely considered gender as part of its analysis.In Negras in Brazil, Kia Lilly Caldwell examines the life experiences of AfroBrazilian women whose stories have until now been largely untold. This pathbreaking study analyzes the links between race and gender and broader processes of social, economic, and political exclusion. Drawing on ethnographic research with social movement organizations and thirtyfive life history interviews, Caldwell explores the everyday struggles AfroBrazilian women face in their efforts to achieve equal rights and full citizenship. She also shows how the black womens movement, which has emerged in recent decades, has sought to challenge racial and gender discrimination in Brazil. While proposing a broader view of citizenship that includes domains such as popular culture and the body, Negras in Brazil highlights the continuing relevance of identity politics for members of racially marginalized communities. Providing new insights into black womens social activism and a gendered perspective on Brazilian racial dynamics, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American Studies, African diaspora studies, womens studies, politics, and cultural anthropology.
