This final work named Black deaf women in the Course of Modern Languages: LIBRAS of the
Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), Campus of Porto Nacional- TO: and their identity
processes aimed to describe the self-declared black and deaf university students and to
investigate the prejudice they have suffered due to the fact of being a woman, black, and deaf.
In addition, it is based on the theoretical perspectives of authors such as Perlin (2016), Ribeiro
(2017), Ferreira (2018), Domingues (2011), and Buzar (2012), who have discussed the
approached topic. We tried to highlight some narratives gathered by the black deaf university
students who exposed their stigmas and are constantly facing oppressive circumstances, most
of the times this situation is mirrored because of their femininity, their skin color, and deafness.
They are also excluded from workplaces, leisure and even family environments where their
language does not effectively circulate. In this context, there must be social inclusion policies
that can be more carefully and distinctively observed in order to include rather than exclude
individuals. In conclusion, its results based on the data obtained from the testimonies
experienced by black deaf women, are the hardships and the fact that they are not limited only
to the academic context, but are common to all environments in society.
