Short abstract
The speeches and struggles of black women are expressions of citizen initiative that challenge and
question. We encourage activists and researchers to share speeches, resistances, powers and activism
of black women, countering the "danger of the single story", allowing us to recognize multiple ways of

The proposal frames the process of construction of the border’s political and social role and its
