Summary:
Negras Lideranças: women activists from the periphery of São Paulo is the first book by Eliete Edwiges Barbosa, the result of her master's dissertation in the Social Psychology course at PUC São Paulo. In this research work, the author seeks to give visibility to black women who work in social movements on the outskirts, leaders who arise in the heat of social injustices that affect her and her family, problems such as health, housing, education. Eliete gives a voice to women who have contributed to fundamental social achievements in the peripheries, but who, however, often do not have the recognition or protagonism in the prominent spaces of political action. -- publisher website.
