Pressing Matters: Challenges Faced by Black Women Journalists During the Final Years of Brazil’s Dictatorship
摘要
DictatorshipIn a period marked by violence, censorship, and authoritarianism, Brazil’s dictatorship furthered Black communities’ distancing from the construction of their identities and history. Their attempts to resist the dictatorship’s oppression brought visibility to the Black communities’ underlying social and political obstacles. This discursive resistance was brought to light through the writers and thinkers of Nzinga Informativo, a newsletter produced by Black women in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 1985 and 1989, which will be the subject of this chapter.
