Bamidelê – organização de mulheres negras na Paraíba em um contexto de transformação nas políticas públicas (2010 a 2016).

Abstract

As the historical process fosters the distinct waves of feminism, other currents originated from the need for multiplicity of identities, among them black women who did not consider themselves represented by feminism or the black movement and who thus decided to found their field of action, that is, black feminism, in which would be inserted the guidelines that relate to racism and sexism. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the political actions of Bamidelê, a Paraiban NGO founded in 2001, in the fight against racism and sexism, as well as to examine the difficulties faced by it. We highlight Bamidelê's articulations with other social movements, especially with the Black and Feminist Movement, as well as its actions in partnership with the Black Women Movement in the national and international space. Our research is based on the perspective of social history, with a connection to cultural history. Thus, we approach the reflections of Scott (2016), who discusses the contextualization of gender with articulation in the categories of race and class. We analyze the partnerships that help this organization to develop its actions, as well as the public policies for these black women.
