Black is where I live: brazilian patriarchal racism

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the relationship between racism, patriarchal relationships and poverty as part of a
specific system of oppression called patriarchal racism. It´s about theoretical research that sought to articulate the particularity
of Brazilian racism to the conformation of patriarchal relations, from the thinking of black women. Thus, there is a racism
produced in the process of slave colonization in Brazil, given that slavery was a patriarchal system. The particularities of
Brazil’s social and historical formation produced a specific type of racism that currently presents itself from the myth of
Brazilian democracy. These contours, articulated to patriarchal relationships and structuring poverty, shape specific contexts
of oppression for black women in which stereotypes, invisibilities and processes of exploitation overlap.
