Abstract

This article aimed to investigate how the theme of gender, black feminism, has been treated in research focused on education for the deaf in Brazil. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out, considering the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), the Capes Catalog of Theses and Dissertations and Google Scholar, of texts published between 2016 and 2022, with the descriptors search the words: “feminism”, “black”, “deaf”, “race” and “gender”. We identified that research in the field of deafness tends to consider only the linguistic aspects of the deaf, even when discussing their identity. Topics such as ethnicity/race, gender, sexuality and social class are left in the background or are not even mentioned. The deaf population is still moving towards being recognized and having their language respected; probably for this reason, these themes in the scope of educational research have proved to be still little discussed. It is necessary to consider, however, that the deaf community is not homogeneous, there are intersectionalities that can affect the lives of people who are part of this population. Studies on the overlapping of deafness-ethnicity/race, gender and sexuality, associated with Inclusive Education, become necessary to reframe conceptions and practices aimed at the deaf population, which for a long time has been plundered and deprived of its rights.
