The last 200 years have seen defeats and victories achieved in the field of feminism and decolonial studies, however, coloniality (of power, knowledge and being) remains, especially in relationships that involve the intersectionality of oppressions, mainly those of race, gender, class and location. This article intends to discuss these relationships, taking as a starting point the emptying of the ephemeris of independence when the subjects in question are originary, black, Amefrican women. Thinking theoretically about the notion of amefricanity is realizing in practice that, despite the racism that structures and at the same time makes Latin American societies porous, racialized feminist demands have made us move forward. We intend to launch and provoke critical views on the places of women in national histories, specifically in the Brazilian and Argentinean contexts, without losing sight of the Latin American context and its (in)dependencies.
KEYWORDS: Independences. Women’s History. Racialization. Amefricanity.
