On the Margins of History: representations and Restriction of Rights in Contemporary Brazil
Keywords:
Minorities, Brazil, Representations, Rights, ContemporarySynopsis
If black people, with their abundant cultural tradition, were marginalized, what about minorities, such as the LGBTS+ group, women, former slaves, who would be disabled for the rest of their lives roaming the streets? From this perspective, the collection is a cry against oblivion, against the traditional paradigm of history, which has been changing, given the studies of black writers emphasizing a new vision regarding black culture; excellent literature brings necropolitics, decolonization, etc., to the agenda. Studies on gender are already a reality, dismissing sexuality as a simple issue linked to the sexual organ. The “minorities” need to become the majority so that History can contemplate what is within the scope of human culture.
