A trajetória do corpo, da construção da beleza e empoderamento negro masculino

Abstract

This paper addresses the theme of body, beauty and black male empowerment. The main objective is to analyze the trajectory of the body and how beauty was developed and, in this condition, black male empowerment. To achieve this objective, the methodology used consisted of qualitative bibliographic research or literature review, using official data and images that helped the reader to better understand the data through visual content. The results obtained indicate that the trajectory of the body, the construction of black beauty and black male empowerment is multifaceted, as it ranges from the elaboration of disqualification through biological inferiority to the emergence of hair as one of the main identity elements. We conclude that the connection between the valorization of the body and beauty consequently results in the empowerment of black men in the construction of their identity and raising their self-esteem.
