SHIRLEY ANNE TATE AND HER BLACK DECOLONIAL FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE: CONTRIBUTIONS TO ORGANIZATIONAL STUDIES

Despite the advances in critical studies in the scope of organizational studies, with the diversity of ontological, epistemological and methodological approaches, it is still possible to verify little approximation on decolonial black feminists' contributions. To expand this aspect, I present the work of professor Shirley Anne Tate, discussing her academic and activist production of intersectionality, feminism and racial theory. Assuming the importance of the production of black Latin American and Caribbean women, I discuss how Shirley Tate's writings theorize about the notion of race as defined and also contested in everyday practices and discourses, placing the experiences of black mixed race women in debate, highlighting affections and emotions in identity constitutions; and how the academy is a space marked by institutional racism, interpersonal and micro-aggression.
