A viagem do reggae e a trilha das guerreiras do terceiro mundo

Abstract

This research seeks to provide a brief overview of the history of reggae and its expansion by Basil, as well as to analyze the participation of women in this universe. The aim is to point out women's coping strategies in a male universe, in addition to identifying reggae as a weapon of political identity and a powerful tool for women's autonomy in their struggles. In view of all these issues, the objective of this work was to make the historical path of reggae and investigate how in recent years gender inequalities are being broken within this musical style. The accomplishment of this research had a bibliographic and documentary source that approached the subject in question. Thus, I visited some sites specialized in the theme, as well as academic works, theses and dissertations with a focus on studies on reggae in Brazil. The search also focused on watching videos with shows and interviews on YouTube and other documents. In addition, I searched and listened carefully to the discography of the featured artists, as well as tracked testimonials on websites and news stories.
