Smith, Christensen, Lingering trauma in Brazil: Police violence against black women, 50 4 2018 , pp. 369-376

This article points out the necessity of resisting anti-Black women policing practices, and argues that resistance must be organised by rethinking how we understand police violence in relation to the passage of time.
