Journalist, writer and activist Djamila Ribeiro is considered a pivotal figure in contemporary black Brazilian feminism. She is part of a moment marked by a growing mobilization, virtual but also real, accompanied by a renewed media interest in feminist struggles in Brazil. Through her literary and editorial activity and her presence on social networks and media, the author contributes to disseminate, and even popularize, black and post-colonial knowledge. The analysis of her books, in particular Lugar de Fala (2017), an essay translated in France under the title La Place de la parole noire, reveals a set of intellectual references that are not limited to Brazilian authors, but include founding texts of black feminist thought in the United States and globally. The analysis of Djamila Ribeiro’s theoretical models, as well as of the reception and circulation of her works, allows us to understand the intellectual and militant posture of this prominent figure of the third feminist wave in Brazil.
