Throughout Black Women against the Land Grab, Perry provides thorough explanations of both the history and current state of the land rights conflict in Salvador, which clearly come from her background as a social scientist with theoretical interests in black feminism, critical race theory, and urban studies. She explores various examples of the intersectionality of race, gender, and class within the context of the Gamboa de Baixo neighborhood organization’s activities and, as a participant-observer, offers a unique perspective that combines detailed, firsthand accounts of the conflict with the contextualization of social scientific theories.
