Summary: | This article aims the reflection on libertarian practices of education to facing on structures that are not only sexist but racist and classist as well. Therefore, we had joined five Brazilian women life stories –Bruna Rocha, Carla Carvalho, Cecília Diasde Oliveira, Ilza Aparecida Fortes e Maria da Penha Silva –introduced by the reporter Karla Maria’s text, combined with those of Antonieta de Barros, Esperança Garcia and Maria Firmina dos Reis, introduced to us by the writer Jarid Arraes. These life stories represent what Karla Maria called existential peripheries providing a theoretical-methodological basisfor the research on the struggle against epistemicide (Sueli Carneiro) that victimized them, also applying the idea of intersectionality (Angela Davis), language as an action (Audre Lorde) and The Other’s Other (Djamila Ribeiro and Grada Kilomba).
