Race, Identity, and Education in Brazil

This paper aims to problematize marginalized minorities, highlighting the black community of the periphery, candomblé, axé, a minority still more invisible by classism, racism, and religious intolerance. This condition started with the extermination of its history by the dominant elite, especially the European, white, and enslaving elite that endures today, causing a lack of knowledge of many people of their origin and their descendants. This writing explores to praise and enhance this community's history, visualizing the black race and culture, taking into consideration, mainly its ancestry, since to speak of people, it is necessary to know its roots, past, and history. Black women's leadership profile was traced back to the colonial period when there was no distinction between black women and black men's work. Many women became leaders precisely because of these conditions. It was a resistance that became a legacy because today we know about these women, protagonists of their stories, and our history.
