Black women: the relation of peripheral urban mobility with the permanence in higher edication

Abstract

The present study is aimed at black women, university students, residents of the district of M’boi Mirim - South / São Paulo, in order to understand the interweaving of the Right to Urban-Peripheral Mobility with the Right to Higher Education. For that, qualitative observation was used as methodological strategy, semi-structured interviews and field diary use. From the above it is concluded that: the black woman, a resident of the periphery who is accessing higher education, finds a bombardment of difficulties on her way to university. However, these women reexist, resignify and resist by the influence of the family, wanting to achieve their goals, dreams and seek in education a social mobility for themselves and their families. So, I summarize the force that drives them in the following song: “The bottom of the foot is on the floor. Blood of my ancestors in the heart. Reaching victory with his own hands. Reaching victory with his own hands. With his own hands. If it’s to win leaves who knows how to do. I’m in the fight, I’m a woman. I can be whatever I want. “ (Karol ConK: I’m in the fight).
