Book, Paths Followed in the Anti-Racist Struggle[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. This publication can be considered an ethnographic autobiography, as Zélia Amador de Deus herself calls her writing. In the eight articles gathered here, the author presents, through theoretical and politically positioned production, political, social and cultural dimensions that have marked and still mark Brazilian social and political history. The texts, chosen by the author herself, represent the central core of her thought and her academic and political intervention from the 1990s to 2019. It is the look at this history produced by a black woman, or a black woman, as Zélia herself does matter of naming herself. But this will never be an individual story. She is part of a collective, and is constructed that way. Protagonist of landmark moments in the fight against the military dictatorship, the country's redemocratization process, the political organization of the contemporary black movement and the implementation of racial equality policies, professor Zélia presents, analyzes and reflects on the central problems experienced by those and those who transformed and continue to transform racial equality and anti-racism not only into fighting flags, but into their main reason for living.
