Educational Experiences of Black Women in the Second Half of the 19th Century

Abstract

Educational Experiences of Black Women in the Second Half of the 19th Century. This article analyzes the educational experiences of black women in the second half of the 19th century, emerging a historical and cultural reading based on the knowledge and resistance of black women in this period. It is based on anti-racist decolonial feminist epistemology and, methodologically, on cultural history and intersectional praxis. The results reveal that the authors debate the educational training of women in close relation with the political movements for decolonization on the Latin American continent. Their writings constitute a borderline thought that emerges in the dense web of decoloniality.
