Gendered racism

against the epidermal racial colonialism and patriarchal scheme

Abstract

Within the modern-colonial gender system, which originates from the exploitation and subjugation of Black and Afro-Latin American women, it is impossible to conceive of a regime that diminishes the colonial debt without refuting the system itself, as well as its own patriarchal language and imaginaries. From this perspective, I propose a reading of Fanon and a dialogue with decolonial feminism — also using interviews and literary works as sources for analysis — intersecting issues of race, gender, territoriality, and class. Therefore, I consider coloniality and its attributions to gender, in which gender is also racialized.
