RESUMO:

The Black Atlantic is a term to describe the transnationality and interculturality of Africa (continent), the Americas and Europe (the diaspora). It is in the Black Atlantic, and particularly in the diaspora, where one of the many resistance movements and black identity reaffirmation takes place: Pan-Africanism. Originating at the beginning of the 20th century, the Pan-Africanist movement fights oppression and exploitation, and is in favour of the emancipation of all black people in the world. This dissertation will analyse the extent to which Pan-Africanism dialogues with black women's activism in the Black Atlantic, examining the theoretical-political activism of three diasporic black women who developed their work over the 20th century: Claudia Jones, Lélia Gonzalez and May Ayim. To carry out this research, I use qualitative and bibliographic methodology, and adopt “escrevivência” and intersectionality as methodological procedures. I begin the research by positioning the construction of the identities of black women in the diaspora of the Black Atlantic, taking as a starting point the reconstruction of my own identity. I also explore the extent to which Pan-Africanism understands gender identities, and what are the interlocutions between black women's activism and Pan-Africanism in the Black Atlantic. It is observed that the identities of black women in the diaspora are constructed in complex ways based on race and gender, and in the midst of this complexity, develop activist methods and techniques that unite theory and politics. Those were crucial to the development of the Pan-Africanist movement throughout the 20th century, despite the constant marginalisation and silencing imposed on black women. As noted, Black activists such as Claudia Jones, Lélia Gonzalez and May Ayim based their strategies on Pan-Africanist principles such as liberation, integration, solidarity and personality, leading to them becoming leaders of movements with such principles as their foundation.
