PROFESSIONAL MEMORIAL

As coordinator of the editorial initiatives in partnership with Jandaira Publishing House, she has published texts and books by more than 80 Black authors. The label is an independent project aimed at publishing works by Black people, especially women, from Brazil and Latin America, and it also seeks to democratize the knowledge of these social groups that have been historically marginalized.

The Feminismos Plurais Collection belongs to this initiative and has been publishing critical topics written by Black authors, offering them at affordable prices and in accessible language. The small, didactic format of the books, distributed at cultural events promoted by the Collection, broke paradigms in the publishing market and became an overwhelming success, with hundreds of thousands of copies sold.

Lugar de Fala – translated into English as “Where we stand” by Yale University Press – was the first book in the Collection. It was released in November 2017. Since its launch, it has consistently ranked among the best-selling books in all publishing market lists. It reached the second position among the best-selling books at the 2018 Paraty Literary Festival (FLIP), the largest in Brazil, which was considered a historic achievement, as it was an independent publishing imprint. Notably, in 2019, Lugar de Fala ranked 9th on the FLIP list, marking consecutive years as a best-seller, another significant milestone in Brazilian literary history. Additionally, it held the top spot in dozens of Literary Fairs, such as the Cachoeira Book Fair (FLICA), the Literary Fair of the Peripheries (FLUP), the Porto Alegre Literary Festival, the Pelourinho Book Fair (FLIPELÔ), among many others.

By the publisher Companhia das Letras, Djamila is the author of three books. The book “Who’s Afraid of Black Feminism?”, published in 2018, gathers her writings in the column she kept for years at the CartaCapital magazine and figures in repeated bestseller lists at bookstores or literary fairs. The texts published in the column have been incorporated in several pedagogical materials for elementary and high schools across the country and are references for anti-racist and feminist debates.

In November 2019, she released Pequeno manual antirracista, her most impactful book, which has been on Veja magazine’s bestseller list for over 100 weeks. The book contains 11 chapters on topics such as the relevance of racism today, Blackness, Whiteness, racial violence, culture, desires, and affections, and it also includes a glossary of Black authors. In February 2021, due to the success of Pequeno manual antirracista, Djamila reached the milestone of 500,000 books sold in Brazil.

In her recent book “Letters to My Grandmother”, published in 2021, Djamila revisits her memories in letters to her grandmother Antônia, recounting her childhood, adolescence, and the challenges of adult life. Since its release, the book has appeared on bestseller lists and has had a profound impact on its readers.

Her fifth book, titled “Transatlantic Dialogues”, brings together conversations between Djamila and Nadia Yala Kisukidi, a professor at the University of Paris 8. This work was published in France by Editions Anacaona in 2020 and is expected to be released in Brazil by Bazar do Tempo in 2024.

One of her most significant honors came on September 1, 2022, when she was inducted into chair No. 28 of the Paulista Academy of Letters, succeeding the historic and brilliant Brazilian writer Lygia Fagundes Telles. The inauguration ceremony filled the Largo do Arouche building with people from various social backgrounds, who were moved by the atabaques drumming of Djamila’s terreiro community, which organized the entire event.

Leandro Karnal, the immortal writer who delivered the welcome speech, set the stage for Djamila’s inaugural address, where she became the youngest among her contemporary immortal peers and the second Black woman in history to occupy a chair, following in the footsteps of the writer Ruth Guimarães.

Her books are widely read in undergraduate and graduate course syllabuses. “Where We Stand” alone, for example, according to Google Academics, which measures the bibliometric impact of undergraduate and graduate works in the country, recorded a total of 657 citations in Master’s and Doctoral works in the second half of 2020, and Djamila is “only” an undergraduate and Master from the Federal University of São Paulo.

Lines of thousands of people formed at fairs and literary events for autographs where she passed in the country, such as in Salvador, Belém, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Teresina, Rio Branco, Curitiba, Natal, Bonito, Ribeirão Preto, Bauru, and many others. There has been classroom readings in elementary and high schools with debates and discussion, public school teaching materials, as well as handouts adopted in several private schools, in language schools and used in prestigious entrance exams, such as Fuvest and Unicamp, as well as adopted as a mandatory bibliography of Philosophy at the Federal University of Paraná.

Djamila is the author of more than a dozen prefaces in publishings, one of the first being the preface of “Women, Race and Class,” written by American Black feminist Angela Davis. It was Djamila who contacted her to have the book translated and published in Brazil in 2016. In her career, other prefaces of paramount importance stood out, such as the catalog of the exhibition of the Portuguese multidisciplinary thinker Grada Kilomba at the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, about Greek myths interpreted by the decolonial perspective.

Djamila also pens the preface to “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, by the American writer Maya Angelou, with a preface also by Oprah Winfrey; the preface to “The Bluest Eye”, by Toni Morrison, the first and only Black woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. The preface to this work stemmed from the TAG Livros book club. Toni Morrison would pass away months later, but she could, still alive, be aware of the work prefaced by Djamila Ribeiro, a fact that brought her a lot of emotion.

Over the years, there have been several international meetings with thinkers from all over the world, such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Achille Mbembe, Ruby Bridges, Kalaf Epalanga, Mamadou Ba, Ruth Gilmore, among others. In 2022, at the Salão Carioca do Livro, Djamila mediated the lecture given by the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in a Maracanãzinho stadium crowded by thousands of people who sold out in minutes. The gathering was part of an agenda of meetings between the writers involved in a lot of affection.

Djamila Ribeiro and her editorial work

In partnership with the publisher Jandaíra, led by publisher Lizandra Magon, Djamila coordinates the Sueli Carneiro Publisher and, as its editor, published “Sueli Carneiro: Writings of a Life”, by the honored Sueli Carneiro.  The launch event at SESC Pompéia brought together admirers, the writer’s family and emblematic figures of the Brazilian Black movement. The second published title “Ó Paí Prezada: racismo e sexismo tomando bonde nas penitenciárias femininas”, the master’s dissertation of Carla Akotirene by the Federal University of Bahia.

In November 2020, the third book of the label: Quilombola Women, which, under the Coordination of Selma Dealdina, brings together eighteen women from different quilombola communities in the country. It is an unprecedented work in the history of the country that had the support of the National Coordination for the Articulation of Rural Black Quilombola Communities (CONAQ). In September 2021, the label released its first translation, the book “Black Power”, by the Trinbagonian and US-based activist Kwame Ture, also known as Stokely Carmichael. The book is prefaced by his son Bokar Ture and was a landmark in the civil rights movement in the twentieth century, being responsible for coining the expression “institutional racism”.

At the end of 2021, through an open call with support of the entrepreneur Maurício Rocha, “A New History, Made of Stories: Invisible Black Personalities in the History of Brazil” was published. The book, which brings together 16 texts by Black scholars from different parts of Brazil, rescues Black personalities worthy of recognition for their contributions to history.

In 2022, the book “Quilombola Education: territorialities, knowledge and the struggles for rights”’ was published, which collects texts resulting from the I Virtual National Quilombola Education Day, an event that was a partnership between the University of Brasília (UnB) and CONAQ.

In the same year, the Okán Dùdù (Black Heart) series was launched, which aims to publish books on African-based religions. The premiere was the book “Axé, the power to accomplish: messages to change your day” by Rodney William.

The most recent work, released in October 2022, was “The Black resistance to the racial exclusion project – Brazil 200 years (1822-2022)”, organized by Prof. Hélio Santos, who gathered 18 texts by historical figures of the Black movement, such as Kabengele Munanga, Sueli Carneiro, Cida Bento, Ana Maria Gonçalves, among many others, to reflect on the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence from a Black perspective. Djamila Ribeiro published a paper in this work with the title “The urgent democratization of media: a Gasparian approach”.

Djamila Ribeiro and the Plural Feminisms collection

The Plural Feminisms collection, which is inside Sueli Carneiro’s book label, has already become an essential collective work for raising awareness among the Brazilian population about antiracist and feminist perspectives, as well as revolutionizing the Brazilian publishing market by expanding the space for the large-scale publication of Black non-fiction productions of theoretical quality and social engagement.

Thirteen titles have been published to date, exceeding the mark of 300,000 books sold. They are in the following order: Place of Speech; Mass Incarceration, by Juliana Borges; Empowerment, by Joice Berth; Intersectionality, by Carla Akotirene; Structural Racism, by Silvio Almeida; Recreational Racism, by Adilson Moreira; Cultural Appropriation, by Rodney William; Religious Intolerance, by Sidnei Barreto; Colorism, by Alessandra Devulsky and Transfeminism, by Letícia Nascimento; “Domestic Work”, by Juliana Teixeira; “Hate Speech on Social Networks”, by Luiz valério Trindade, “Racial Quotas”, by Lívia Sant’anna Vaz and “Lesbianity”, by Dedê Fatumma.

The transformations promoted in Brazil by the editorial work of Djamila Ribeiro have been and will continue to be the object of much historical reflection. From the outset, it should be noted that the hundreds of thousands of books sold are not only an expressive number of the success of the works themselves. According to research by Regina Dalcastagnè, from the university of Djamila Ribeiro, between 1964 and 2014, publications by Black people in major publishers represented only 10% of catalogs.

In the editorial movement fronted by Djamila, these works also represented a strengthening of the group of Black people in the market, becoming a factor responsible for the significant increase in works published by Black people in the country.

“When Djamila (Ribeiro) quotes Audre Lorde or other incredible Black authors, whether fiction, nonfiction, poetry or theater, publishers go after it,” says Florencia Ferrari, Director of Ubu Publishing in an interview with the newspaper O Globo. 

Editorial Work Abroad

Djamila Ribeiro’s editorial work has crossed the Atlantic and established solid roots in Europe. Due to partnerships with publishers in France, Italy and Spain, their articulation has led to translations of the works, so far translated and published in French in Editions Anacaona (Joice Berth, Adilson Moreira, Rodney William, Alessandra Devulsky, Letícia Nascimento and Dedê Fatumma), Spanish (Juliana Borges) and Italian in Capovolte Edizioni (Carla Akotirene and Luiz Valério Trindade).

The pandemic slowed the going of authors of the Collection to the countries, postponing the arrival of the Black Brazilian intelligentsia in an booming scenario. Between 2019 and early 2020, in France alone there were two long tours and some quick passages through the country. The tours were in partnership with the Accor hotel chain. All events with a full house and presence in important literary festivals. The post-pandemic return was in October 2022, with a tour by Djamila Ribeiro and Rodney William in France, Belgium and Germany. Djamila was about to launch her four books in French, while Pai Rodney became the third author in the Collection to undertake her book launch tour. This particular journey was supported by the Accor chain and the Air France airline.

In 2022, Djamila Ribeiro was in Italy at the Turin International Book Fair, where she released some of her works in Italian published by Capovolte – in particular the translation of Place of Speech. In 2023, Djamila leaves for a launch tour where she will also feature the translation of the Short Anti-racist Guide and the book Letters to my Grandmother.

Djamila Ribeiro is a member of the Beauvoir Society, which brings together scholars of the thoughts of Simone de Beauvoir, having spoken at two conferences: in Oregon, in the United States, while still an undergraduate student in Philosophy, and in St. Louis, also in the United States, as a Master’s student. Already a Master, she has held conferences at dozens of universities around the world, such as Berkeley, Duke, Harvard, King’s College, Oxford, London School of Economics, Universities of Montpellier, Lyon, Toulouse, Rennes, Aarhus, Oslo, Amsterdam, among many others.

In 2023, she was a keynote speaker at the UN General Assembly, on the Day in Remembrance of the Abolition of Slavery and the Transtlantic Slave Trade. The theme of her speech was on “Fighting the legacy of slavery and racism through transformative education”.

In 2024, Editorial Caminho published the first Portuguese translation of a work by Djamila Ribeiro. The editor responsible for this milestone was the notable Zeferino Coelho, who, for over 30 years, was the editor of the works written by José Saramago, the only Nobel Laureate in Literature in the language. A year earlier, it is worth mentioning, Djamila had been in the capital for the Coimbra Book Fair and the Gulbenkian Summer Gardens, where her participation set all audience records, necessitating the opening of cinema rooms to accommodate the overflow from the main auditorium. Even so, it was not enough, and people ended up watching on laptops scattered throughout the garden. It was a tremendous success.

In 2024, with her *Cartas para minha avó* published in the country, the public filled the Lisbon Book Fair to see her. During this stay, Djamila had the honor of being received at the Saramago Foundation by Pilar Del Río, the Nobel laureate’s great life partner and president of the institution.

In April 2022, she founded the Espaço Feminismos Plurais, dedicated to the orixá Iansã and focused on holistic care for women. The space offers free psychological, therapeutic, and dental care, as well as initiatives for professional development of women-led businesses, legal counseling, cultural events, and many other activities.

Among these activities is the partnership with the Rosângela Rigo shelter, which provides support to women victims of domestic violence and the shelter’s workers, in a project known as “Caring for Those Who Care.” The facility is located at Avenida Chibarás, 666, Moema, in the South Zone of São Paulo, in a building provided by Maurício Rocha, the administrative director of the space.

The Espaço also hosts book launch events, including those for various authors from the Coleção Feminismos Plurais and the Selo Sueli Carneiro. The events and the space itself have received significant support from Johnnie Walker Brasil, Ambev, and Vivo. The Espaço’s activities are diverse, and in 2023, it published a call for participation in the Johnnie Walker Fund for supporting and professionalizing initiatives by Black women entrepreneurs.

Plataforma Feminismos Plurais

In 2020, she launched the Online Platform Feminismos Plurais for audiovisual communication and studies on Black feminism, among other racial and feminist study approaches. The day after the launch, she received an invitation from actor Paulo Gustavo to take over his Instagram page for a month, a first in Brazil and, in terms of size and duration, unprecedented globally. The takeover inspired numerous similar actions and led to the popular hashtag #JuntospelaTransformação, which supported various projects.

Over 80 projects were supported with training and distribution of subscriptions for community engagement. With support from presenter Fernanda Gentil, five thousand subscriptions were distributed to non-governmental organizations. The Platform launched with professors from universities across the country and, due to its extensive production of articles, study groups, and live classes, is considered the largest streaming service for racial and feminist studies in the country.
