Possible Resistances: perceptions on the construction of black identity in a women's prison facing the opacity of the discussion of the racial issue.
The present research proposes an analysis of the effects of the prison social space on racial and gender relations among women prisoners in a prison unit in the city of São Paulo. We take as a starting point the understanding that the process of formation of prisons in Brazil is inseparable from the phenomenon of modern slavery and its transition to the modern State. To carry out this work we use ethnographic notes produced in 2017 - 2019 and dialogue with theoretical references that discuss the conceptions and resignifications/uses of the concept of miscegenation and its reminiscences in the construction of the late identity of black people.
