“…The employment of informal practices do not seem to affect all women equally. In exploratory analyses employing data on candidates' racial identity (only available for the 2014 and 2018 elections), we find that the 2009 minireform might have motivated parties to increase their recruitment of white women to a higher degree than Afro-Brazilian women: parties' use of provisional commissions and laranjas has a less drastic impact on Afro-Brazilian women-something that could result from party elites' overwhelmingly white and male networks (Carneiro, 2010;Rios et al, 2017).…”

Six electoral cycles since the implementation of Brazil’s gender quota, just 15% of the 513 members of the Chamber of Deputies are women. We ask how parties’ use of informal institutions mediates the effectiveness of the gender quota. Drawing on data from more than 4,000 state-level party organizations, we show that parties employ informal practices that intentionally and non-intentionally interact with gender equity rules to affect women’s political representation: the intentional nomination of phantom candidates (“ laranjas”) allows parties to comply with the letter of the quota law, without effectively supporting women’s candidacies—to the detriment of women’s election; meanwhile, the extended use of provisional commissions to minimize oversight on candidate selection poses an obstacle to the quota and women’s candidacies and election more generally. Quota resistance characterizes an instance of both the likely inadvertent effects of informal institutions employed for non-gendered motivations and party leaders acting to preserve their own power.

“…The autonomous mobilization of Black women emerged at the end of the military dictatorship, especially in major cities in the southeast and northeast Brazil amidst protests for the return to the democratic regime, which subsequently expanded across all regions of the country, including the countryside as it gained traction within quilombola organizations. This period is known as one of ‘re-democratization’, especially in the 1980s during the mobilizations for constitutional reforms (Rios, 2017). It is important to note at the outset that this movement emerged in dialogue with both the Black movement and the feminist movement (Rodrigues & Prado, 2010) within an activism network that shared action repertoires, even if we find innovations in the political language of Black feminism (Tarrow, 2013).…”

Brazilian Black feminism has changed and grown more influential and diverse in the past two decades. One of the major challenges is to understand what these changes mean for women’s agency in the different contexts in which they emerge, both rural and urban. To examine the transformations of Black feminism in Brazil, this article investigates three generations of activists over the periods of re-democratization, democratic expansion and crisis of democracy, bringing focus to Black women in the quilombola movement, young Black feminists on the Internet and intersectional feminism. The article analyses traditional and new activist networks that claim multiple identities for themselves, as well as public status as collective action strategies to seize traditional spaces for political activism, grounding themselves in feminism and anti-racism against the multiple forms of oppression in urban and rural spaces.

“…A reconstituição dos períodos históricos, vale ressaltar, não é onde reside a contribuição desta pesquisa ao campo, uma vez que os momentos políticos estudados, assim como as questões inerentes a eles, tais quais a divisão sexual e racial do trabalho, por exemplo, já foram amplamente sistematizados por inúmeras especialistas (Saffioti, 1969;Biroli, 2016a;Rios;Hatts, 2018;Gonzalez, 2020; entre muitas outras). Assim como o problema da sub-representação de mulheres na política (Araújo, 1998;Sacchet, 2012;Rios;Pereira;Rangel, 2017; entre muitas outras) e especificamente de mulheres negras (Rios, 2014;Rios;Pereira;Rangel, 2017;Astrolabio dos Santos, 2023; entre muitas outras).…”
