Abstract:
This article intends to discuss the suffering produced by the denial of black women's motherhood, the result of racism and inequalities existing in our society. Behind the fatalities generated by racism and structural violence, we seek to signal that there is a project that “does not authorize” black women to be mothers, despite the fact that motherhood is compulsorily placed for the female gender. Thereby, in a racist, patriarchal, sexist, colonialist and elitist society, not everyone can enjoy the “myth of maternal love” and this has been placed across the production and reproduction of suffering, violence and racism in its most diverse expressions.
