Migração e trabalho das mulheres angolanas na Maré sob o olhar da interseccionalidade

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the socio-professional insertion of Angolan immigrants in the Complexo da Maré-RJ. This migration happened in the context of forced migration during the Angolan Civil War (1975-2002) and the economic crisis in the country. The period analyzed corresponds to the years 1990 to 2023. The Angolan women had to emigrate and rebuild their histories and through the intersectionality of gender, race and class. This study aims to investigate how these factors affected their trajectory in the host country and how these women established themselves in the Maré complex and in the job market and became entrepreneurs in the region. For research purposes, the dissertation was based on a bibliographical survey covering female migration, forced migration, labor history, intersectionality and the vulnerabilities involved in this process. Based on ethnography and oral history, visits were made to the Angolan community in Maré and interviews were conducted with four Angolan women in order to understand aspects present in this community and their process of integration. In addition to highlighting the process of reconstruction as protagonists of their stories.
