Sojourner Truth, Jarena Lee, Excepcionalidade, EstereótiposResumo
Este texto visa compreender o paradoxal rótulo de excepcionalidade de Sojourner Truth e Jarena Lee a partir do que foi registrado em suas (auto)biografias e como foram retratadas e referidas nos jornais oitocentistas. A partir disso, investigamos a construção da raça e dos estereótipos pelos poderes hegemônicos brancos e expomos como essas mulheres desmantelaram a excepcionalidade enquanto forma de comparação de superioridade e inferioridade.
