Abstract
In this paper we deal with the construction of safe spaces of resistance by black women, based on the contributions of Patricia Hill Collins' thought. We sought to articulate theoretical elements proposed by the author with the results of an empirical university extension experience carried out with rural black women. The method used combines theoretical research and participatory-action research, involving 20 black women from 10 municipalities in the semi-arid region of Bahia, through remote and in-person meetings. The results indicate that the confluence between intersectional analysis, epistemic resistance and community praxis allows the development of a psychological-social interpretative key that emerges from the experience of building safe spaces for good living.
