From racial violence to black feminisms

perspectives from experience

Abstract

What are we talking about when we use the expression Racial Violence? How does it connect to the concepts of Black Genocide, Necropolitics, or Total War? How does this violence manifest itself in Brazil? Originating from the experience at the Observatory of Racial Violence CAAF/Unifesp between 2022 and 2024, these questions organize the present reflection, which also seeks to present some of the responses to this daily and systematic violence. An inexhaustible source of models for political subjectivation, Black feminisms are the references for these responses.
