Do Gender, Class, and Race Have Disability? Asian-Brazilian Histories and Activisms

In this text, we propose a cross-intervention between the field of disability studies and Asian-Brazilian histories and activism. To do so, we followed the path below: we rescued debates about race, class, and gender in works with intersectionality and social markers of difference; we resume articulations between class, gender and race in the field of studies with disabilities; we argue for the pertinence of disability as an intersectional category; and we present and discuss some scenes of Asian Brazilian activism, in dialogue with the notions of disability and capacity as keys to analysis.
