This article is part of a broader research in which we seek to highlight the historical participation of Afro-diasporic women in the construction of Latin America and the Caribbean, developed within the framework of the Latin American and Caribbean Research Network on Terreiro Feminisms – RELFET. We propose to understand the longterm processes (sociogenesis), such as patriarchy, feminism, and African ancestry, that guide collective actions of women (psychogenesis) in diaspora in the Brazilian context, forming historical singularities, such as the “terreiros” (courtyard) feminisms. Th e central argument is that the entry of African women into the modern-colonial time-space, by acting beyond the binary delimitation of western gender, promoted a turn in patriarchy,making it more complex. We then make a bibliographic incursion, exploring concepts such as gender, patriarchy, feminism, power, and social movement.
