In this article, we propose to discuss how the production of colonizing narratives structured by devices of gender, race and sexuality were expressed on colonized bodies of southern Bahia women, locating the discussion from the historical and social context of the municipality of Canavieiras-Bahia. Our argument is that the narratives of erasure, oppression, and negativity implemented by colonialismo, in southern Bahia, were orchestrated on racialized and sexualized bodies of black and indigenous women, because we take as reference how they were deprived of their wills and subjectivities, as well as animalized. We try to understand how such elaborations have been produced and contested through a theoretical and methodological approach, whose analytical tool of intersectionality helps us to think about the intersection of the axes of the systems of domination and their daily confrontations by black and indigenous women.
