O ativismo de mulheres negras e a política de promoção da igualdade de gênero e raça em Santo André (SP)

The analysis of this book was focused on the relationship between race and politics, and considered its object feminist and Black women activism in the creation of a policy promoting gender and race in Santo André, governed by the PT during the years 1989 to 2005. The author concludes that the process of Brazilian democratization enabled the institutionalization of social Black movement activists through a racial equality promotion policy. However, the positioning of the race in the party and in Santo André corresponded not only to the organizational cycle of Black activism, but also to the structure of political opportunities and constraints, and relevancy given to the racial question, configured in the permeability of the party structure and the government, especially at election times.
