Abstract
Este trabajo cualitativo tiene como objetivo analizar los procesos de racialización y sexualización que enfrentan mujeres negras, africanas y afrodescendientes universitarias en una ciudad pequeña al sur de España. Se exploran sus experiencias cotidianas en el espacio público, identificando formas de explotación, control y resistencia corporal. Los hallazgos revelan que estas mujeres son sometidas a una constante cosificación y fetichización asociándolas con estereotipos sexuales como la prostitución. Esta hipervisibilización coexiste con un control espacial que restringe su movilidad (evitando zonas, modificando rutas) y las obliga a regular su apariencia para protegerse. Aunque las experiencias de opresión están enraizadas en estructuras históricasde raza, género y clase, abordadas por el Pensamiento Feminista Negro y la interseccionalidad, las respuestas cotidianas de estas mujeres evidencian una capacidad activa para negociar y desafiar dichas dinámicas, aunque de manera fragmentada. El artículosubraya la urgencia de políticas públicas antirracistas e interseccionales que promuevan espacios seguros y desmantelen los estereotipos en el ámbito educativo.
This qualitative study aims to analyse the processes of racialisation and sexualisation faced by black, African and Afro-descendant female university students in a small town in southern Spain. It explores their everyday experiences in public spaces, identifying forms of exploitation, control and bodily resistance. The findings reveal that these women are subjected to constant objectification and fetishisation, associating them with sexual stereotypes such as prostitution. This hypervisibility coexists with spatial control that restricts their mobility (avoiding certain areas, modifying routes) and forces them to regulate their appearance in order to protect themselves. Although experiences of oppression are rooted in historical structures of race, gender, and class, addressed by Black Feminist Thought and intersectionality, these women's everyday responses demonstrate an active capacity to negotiate and challenge these dynamics, albeit in a fragmented way. The article highlights the urgency of anti-racist and intersectional public policies that promote safe spaces and dismantle stereotypes in education.
