Abstract
This article discussions intersectionality as an analytical and political tool for unveiling the overlaps of oppression suffered by black and quilombola women in the Amazon, looking at the recognition of their protagonism. The discussion problematizes the naturalization of subalternities imposed by the colonization project on black women in the Americas and, in particular, on quilombola women in the Amazon. The Region suffers from continuous genocide and the plundering of its biodiverse wealth. Racialization deepens at the intersection with gender inequalities, class oppression and regional spatialities, as evidenced in the Covid-19 pandemic. However, they are agents of the maintenance of their groups and the traditionally occupied territory. It is expected to contribute to black feminisms, that is, to the anti-colonial resistance of these women, aiming at the construction of social, political and emancipatory projects.
