Colorismo no Brasil: Améfrica Ladina um caminho para o fortalecimento da identidade negra

This work proposes to reflect on the importance of strengthening black racial identity. Based on critical analyzes of reality, aspects associated with colorism and intersections between racial and territorial identities in African Diaspora processes are addressed. When analyzing Human Rights in Latin America, it is inevitably necessary to carry out a previous debate, which involves the notion of humanity for black people. In this sense, aspects are enunciated that show the different phenotypes of black people, including recognition of humanity, diversities and specificities. It also seeks to carry out an internal reflection within the black community, so that as dark and non-black people, we can face together the multiple facets of racism. Strategies to confront racism and to strengthen black identity are presented, based on the Améfrica Ladina category, developed by Lélia Gonzalez, as a methodology for analyzing and transforming reality.
