From epistemicide to epistemologies of the appearance: black women in the Justice System and Criminal Sciences

This paper criticizes the treatment given to black women, using as an example the double position occupied by Black women in the justice system and in the Criminal Sciences: visible as preferential targets of female incarceration and invisible as victims of violence against women and femicide. My main goal is to criticize analysis that, although critical of the penal system and aware of its selectivity, only uses these women as numbers to portray the problems of the justice system. These analyzes, in general, are incapable of using Black women as interpreters of the same system and of their own reality, of bringing race as a central element of the causes of this violence. I also propose that intersectionality be used as an epistemology of the appearance of black women and a critical anti-racist perspective that gives them the epistemic primacy of interpreting their own realities.
