Mulheres negras e o sistema prisional no Brasil: um estado da arte dos estudos produzidos entre 2010-2019

Abstract

This monographic work aims to analyze the production of studies on black women and the prison system in Brazil, published in the period from 2010 to 2019, from an intersectional approach of gender, race and class. To achieve this aim, the historical and social reality of black women in Brazil was discussed from an intersectional perspective; the profile of women inserted in the Brazilian prison system was identified, observing the issues of race and class, using data from INFOPEN Women and data from other scientific works; a survey of research published in the country was carried out, from 2010 to 2019, and the discussions brought up in the studies (articles, dissertations and theses) about black women and the prison system were analyzed, categorizing the themes, objectives and main results identified. The research methodology was based on a qualitative approach, with the analysis of statistical data, documents and bibliography on the topic. In addition to using bibliographic research and literature review as a methodological technique in order to achieve a " status of the art". As for the theoretical framework, dialogue was established with authors dealing with the Black Women Movement and Black Feminism, such as Hooks (2015), Carneiro (2002) and Carvalho (2013). In addition to researchers who discuss the prison system in Brazil, specifically those dealing with gender, race and class in the Brazilian prison system, such as Flauzina (2003); Borges (2019); Flauzina and Pires (2019), Freitas (2019). These authors theoretically supported the work together with the reflections brought by Foucault (2015) and Garcia (2019). 32 (thirty-two) scientific works were mapped and analyzed, which exposed the existence of a considerable amount of research that centrally focuses on gender and the prison system in Brazil in the last decade. However, there is still a lack of studies that deepen the theme from an intersectional perspective. The researches evaluated were also mostly distant from the reality inside prisons and courts, and these data are essential for a better understanding of the reality of black women in prison, currently in the country, and of the knowledge of how they develop. criminal justice processes.
