Public Policies and Subjectivity of Black Women

This research analyzes the manner in which black women from the periphery of São Paulo (Brazil) deal with state-funded social policies in their daily lives. In particular, it looks at the challenges of navigating complicated bureaucratic procedures for marginalized and often undereducated urban populations, and the impact these challenges have on their everyday life. This study proposes to add an original, qualitative perspective to the literature on public policies’ effects, which in Brazil is currently dominated by quantitative studies.
