In a society shaped by the legacies of enslavement, white supremacy, and sexism, who has the right to a voice? In her recently-translated book, Djamila Ribeiro offers a compelling intervention into contemporary discussions of power and identity: the concept of “speaking place” (lugar de fala), which has become a crucial component of conversations on race and gender in Brazil.

Speaker:

Djamila Ribeiro is a philosopher, essayist, editor, and one of the most influential leaders in the Afro-Brazilian women’s rights movement. She is the 2024-2025 Andrés Bello Chair In Latin American Cultures And Civilizations at New York University.
