Durante a década de 1980, o movimento negro brasileiro se afirmou como importante sujeito político no processo de redemocratização do país. Junto aos demais companheiros de militância, as mulheres negras elegeram o acesso à educação como uma das principais bandeiras de emancipação política, por considerá-la importante não apenas na conquista de direitos e melhores condições de vida, mas devido ao seu potencial no processo de reconhecimento étnico-racial e descolonização cultural e epistemológica. Nesse cenário, destaca-se a contribuição da intelectual e ativista do feminismo negro Lélia Gonzalez, cujo engajamento foi fundamental para o questionamento das variadas formas de colonialidade e como estas se expressam na cultura brasileira. A partir da pesquisa realizada por Nilma Lino Gomes (2017) sobre o movimento negro educador, além de reflexões de autoras e autores latinoamericanos sobre colonialidade e educação decolonial, o artigo busca analisar os significados atribuídos à educação por intelectuais e ativistas do feminismo negro, em especial, Lélia Gonzalez. Referência na luta contra as opressões de gênero, raça e classe no Brasil, além de propor uma descolonização da educação, sua produção acadêmica e militância tomaram como principais alvos de questionamento e denúncia a universalidade da categoria mulher, construída no interior do movimento feminista e, por outro lado, o machismo e as desigualdades de gênero presentes no movimento negro.Educação.

Lélia Gonzalez. Lélia Gonzalez: the meanings attributed to education by intellectuals and activists of black feminismAbstract During the 1980s, the Brazilian black movement affirmed itself as an important political subject in the process of redemocratization of the country. Along with the other members of the militancy, black women chose access to education as one of the main flags of political emancipation, considering it important not only in the conquest of rights and better conditions of life, but because of its potential in the recognition process ethno-racial and cultural and epistemological decolonization. In this scenario, the contribution of the feminist activist and black feminist Lélia Gonzalez stands out, whose engagement was fundamental for the questioning of the various forms of coloniality and how these are expressed in Brazilian culture. From the research carried out by Nilma Lino Gomes (2017) on the black educator movement, in addition to the contributions and reflections of Latin American authors and authors on coloniality and decolonial education, the article seeks to analyze the meanings attributed to education by intellectuals and activists of black feminism, in particular, Lélia Gonzalez. Reference in the struggle against the oppressions of race, gender and class in Brazil, besides proposing a decolonization of education, its academic production and militancy took as main targets of questioning and denunciation the universality of the category woman, built within the feminist movement and, on the other hand, the machismo and the gender inequalities present in the black movement.Education.

This chapter discusses how the creative use of Franz Boas's ideas to analyze Brazilian culture and society and to “discover” Brazil for the Brazilians was the work of two scholars, the Brazilian Gilberto Freyre and the German Rüdiger Bilden. Freyre has been credited with the invention of Brazilian identity with the publication of his Casa-Grande & Senzala (translated into English as The Masters and the Slaves) in 1933 and is described as Boas's most outstanding Latin American disciple. On the other hand, Bilden, a German scholar who was closer to Boas and once seemed to have a brilliant future, later dropped out of the academic world and disappeared into obscurity.

This chapter examines women’s activism in the modern movement for Black liberation. It examines women’s roles across three phases of mobilization. Starting with an exploration of women’s participation in the direct action phase of the U.S. civil rights movement (1954–1966), the chapter discusses the key roles that women played in the fight for legal equality for African Americans. Next it examines women’s central role in the Black Power movement of 1966–1974. The authors argue that Black women found new roles in new struggles during this period. The chapter ends with a look at the rise of radical Black feminism between 1974 and 1980, examining the codification of intersectional politics and discussing the continuation of issues of race, privilege, and diversity in contemporary feminism.

The Relationship

This is the transcript of a speech I gave at an Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) event on the 28th November 2020 about intersectionality and groups analysis. This was momentous for group analysis because it was the first IGA event to focus on black feminist intersectionality. Noteworthy, because it is so rare, the large group was convened by two black women, qualified members of the IGA—a deliberate intervention in keeping with my questioning of the relationship between group analysis and power, privilege, and position. This event took place during the Covid-19 pandemic via an online platform called ‘Zoom’. Whilst holding the event online had implications for the embodied visceral experience of the audience, it enabled an international attendance, including members of Group Analysis India. Invitation to the event: ‘Why the black feminist idea of intersectionality is vital to group analysis’ Using black feminist intersectionality, this workshop explores two interconnected issues: • Group analysis is about integration of parts, but how do we do this across difference in power, privilege, and position? • Can group analysis allow outsider ideas in? This question goes to the heart of who/ what we include in group analytic practice—what about black feminism? If there ‘cannot possibly be one single version of the truth so we need to hear as many different versions of it as we can’ (Blackwell, 2003: 462), we need to include as many different situated standpoints as possible. Here is where and why the black feminist idea of intersectionality is vital to group analysis. On equality, diversity and inclusion, intersectionality says that the ‘problems of exclusion cannot be solved simply by including black [people] within an already established analytical structure’ (Crenshaw, 1989: 140). Can group analysis allow the outsider idea of intersectionality in?

This essay examines young Venezuelans’ experiences of daily insecurities and critical situations and their responses using the framework of ontological security. The study uses the concept of ‘multiple youths,’ proposed by Latin American scholars, to link the ideas of security and identity, to explore the different intersubjective understandings of these notions in the lives of university students, and to explain their choice of conflict as part of the ordinary. Empirical analysis shows how routinization of conflict has a strong psychological impact on Venezuelan youth’s intersubjective identity formation and interpretation of events as ordinary or threatening. The routinization of conflict is a response to maintaining ontological security, providing a sense of constancy and continuity since it has become part of the routines of university students in Venezuela. In addition, conflict helps eliminate and/or delegitimize the ‘other,’ hence hindering dialogue and a negotiated solution to the current political impasse.

The One

This structural analysis focuses on the compadrio system. The empirical background is provided by observation carried out among sertanejo peasants of Bahia in the late 1960s and by the literature on the Latin American and Southern European variants of this institution. It is mainly concerned with two complementary problems. On the one hand, to draw a model that might represent that institution's elementary structure, virtually present in the variants of this system; on the other, to offer an interpretation of its meaning, by contrasting it with elements of the kinship and marriage systems, and taking in consideration the peasants' religious background. This exercise was inspired by Edmund Leach's Rethinking anthropology and his ideas about the Virgin Birth. Analytical perspectives for further research are suggested.

Social experts played an important but contested role in Francoist attempts to establish Spain as an influential power in Latin America during the 1940s and 1950s. By encouraging Spanish experts to form ties with their Latin American colleagues, the Franco regime aimed to promote an image of itself as modern, scientific, and technically advanced on the one hand, and as socially progressive on the other. Despite the significant resources dedicated to this task, the Francoist narrative was strongly resisted both by Latin American leftists and by exiled Republican social experts who promoted a more collaborative model of Ibero-American identity. Nevertheless, Latin America did offer a route through which Francoist experts were able to engage with wider forms of international health and welfare. In areas such as social security, it also provided an opportunity for the regime to promote its vision of Francoist modernity to the outside world.

This study aimed to investigate the contributions of Phenomenology to Health Psychology based on Brazilian academic production. A search in the SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), PePSIC (Electronic Psychology Journals) and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) databases was performed and thirteen papers published between 2000 and 2018 were selected and analyzed. It was found that Phenomenology contributes in many ways while Edmund Husserl's epistemology, as well as an approach that presents a view of the world and human beings by means of a number of phenomenologists, and as a philosophical phenomenological method adapted to Psychology by various authors. As far as Health Psychology is concerned, research brings an understanding of the health-disease-care process both by the analysis of the experiences of users who turn to health services as well as by professional psychologists' practice within a biopsychosocial perspective. A plurality of theoretical conceptions and methodological pathways is observed both when it comes to Phenomenology and Health Psychology, thus further studies on Health Psychology stemming from the contributions of Phenomenology are promising.
