The black intellectuality and scientific production: a decolonial view

Abstract

This paper discusses the female role in the scientific knowledge production, in a decolonial perspective. It has as guideline the libertarian education, reflecting on contemporary social discourses, based on a colonialist thought model. For the colonialist thinking, the gender issue is still very relevant. This theme importance is justified by the need to understand the aspects from the colonizing mentality, which silenced, censored and depreciated the women knowledge production throughout human history. For this reason, democratic spaces for debate must be created so that groups that have not been seen by this patriarchal, sexist and unequal society can be heard and welcomed. For this research, the bibliographic research methodology was used, having as analysis scientific corpus papers and academic books. The researched materials refer to decolonial studies and the Black Feminism Movement legacy.
