PASSIVE OR POSSIBLE RESISTANCE: an approach at the black women imprisoned in the city of São Paulo
This work aims to analyze the crossings of the racial construct in social relations in Brazil and its reproduction in intramural spaces through ethnographic accounts of the experiences of black women incarcerated in the city of São Paulo. Based on the assumption that the justice and penal system meets a demand for social control by predetermined groups, in Brazil, mostly black youth, it is important to consider the social, political and economic formation of Brazil and how our social fabric was constituted. With special attention to the origin and reproduction of dynamics arising from a colonial past, in which racism and patriarchy served as a constituent base of a modern state, we will go through the social construction of the ideas of race and racism in Brazilian society and we will relate to the dynamics experienced by imprisoned black women and the possible resistance mechanisms developed by them
