marina dadico amâncio de souza

olá! i am a 4th-year ph.d. candidate in the latin american and latino studies program at uc santa cruz with a designated emphasis in anthropology and critical race and ethnic studies.

i am interested in black geographies, urban anthropology, território, marronage, and land struggles in the américas. in my current project, i collaborate with maroon (quilombola) women mobilizing their communities (quilombos) toward territorial rights in porto alegre, brazil's southernmost metropolis. my research sensorially traces how quilombola women's everyday practices of resistance make space for alternative black futures within and against the bounds of racist spatial exclusion in the brazilian urban south.
