Resumen

En esta entrevista, las profesoras Glenda Valim Mello y Branca Falabella Fabrício conversan con Nilma Lino Gomes sobre el concepto Movimiento Negro Educador, que investiga los discursos, las prácticas y los conocimientos afrodiaspóricos en América Latina. Nilma explica que el concepto nace de su trayectoria personal y política como mujer negra, marcada por experiencias de racismo y por el contacto transformador con el movimiento negro. Esta experiencia le permitió releer la sociedad brasileña a la luz de las desigualdades raciales, entendiendo la raza como una categoría política y social estructurante. A lo largo de su formación y actuación docente, Nilma se dio cuenta de que los conocimientos críticos sobre el racismo, la identidad y la historia negra no se aprendían en las instituciones formales, sino en los espacios de militancia, en los colectivos y en las organizaciones negras. A partir de esta experiencia, formula el concepto de Movimiento Negro Educador, entendido como un conjunto de prácticas, conocimientos y acciones políticas producidas históricamente por la población negra. El encuentro discute cómo los conocimientos políticos, identitarios, estético-corpóreos e interseccionales se organizan, sistematizan y transforman en reivindicaciones e intervenciones que reeducan tanto al propio movimiento como a la sociedad. Tal transformación exige resistencia, lucha colectiva, conciencia política y la construcción de un lenguaje guiado por el amor como acto político.
