Descrição
Resumo:Beginning with the presentation of some elements of Lélia Gonzalez’ biography, the article discusses in a second moment the emergence of Black feminism and intersectionality in the United States and in Brazil. In the next step, we show how Gonzalez’ intersectional approach allows her to elaborate a long-range critical social theory which tackles the contradictions of Brazilian dependent capitalism. As a forerunner of global Back feminism alongside Angela Davis and Bell Hooks, Gonzalez contributed at the same time with fundamental analyzes about the constitution of Brazilian society within the context of the world-capitalist system.
