Djamila Ribeiro has reached a new publishing milestone with Lugar de fala<\/em><\/strong> (Where We Stand<\/em> \u2013 Yale University Press<\/strong>). The new edition of the book, published by Rosa dos Tempos<\/strong> (Rose of the Times<\/em>), an imprint of Grupo Editorial Record<\/strong> (Record Publishing Group<\/em>), entered the Nielsen-PublishNews Bestsellers List<\/strong>, a weekly ranking that tracks sales of physical books in the Brazilian retail market using BookScan<\/strong> data from NielsenIQ BookData<\/strong>. Released on June 22, the list counted sales from June 8 to 14, 2026<\/strong>. In the Specialist Nonfiction<\/strong> category, the book appears in 17th place<\/strong>, with 541 copies sold<\/strong> during the period. The list gathers data from participating bookstores, e-commerce platforms and supermarkets, with information collected directly from retailers.<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s presence in the ranking confirms the strength of a work that continues to circulate in bookstores and in public debate. That relevance became tangible on Wednesday, the 24th, during Djamila\u2019s interview on Est\u00fadio CBN<\/strong>, a program on CBN<\/strong>, one of Brazil\u2019s main all-news radio networks. Host Tatiana Vasconcellos<\/strong> said that a taxi driver had reacted to the concept with the following sentence: \u201cEverything is place of speech. They are using this to silence us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The question led the Brazilian philosopher to return to one of the book\u2019s central points: lugar de fala<\/em> is not an instrument of silencing, but a way of understanding the position from which each person takes part in public debate.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI respond to many misunderstandings in the book, and one of them is this: lugar de fala<\/em> is not what is said. It is where one speaks from. We are talking about a social place,\u201d Djamila said on the program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Responding to the taxi driver\u2019s comment, Djamila explained that the concept does not prevent white people from speaking about racism, nor men from discussing gender inequality. The point, in the author\u2019s words, is to recognize that these statements come from different social positions.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhite people can and should speak about racism, but they will speak from another place; from a place that is different from the one a Black person speaks from on the same subject,\u201d she said. \u201cJust as men can speak about women\u2019s issues, certainly, because men\u2019s place impacts women\u2019s place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Djamila also connected the debate to the naturalization of privilege. When men do not understand that certain advantages were historically built on the oppression of women, they continue to reproduce inequalities as if they were natural. The same reasoning applies to the racial debate, in which the social position of the person speaking influences how the subject is perceived.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEveryone can speak about everything, obviously. But we, as women, will speak from different places. And marking that place is important so that we can understand how oppressions and privileges were constructed,\u201d Djamila said. \u201cPlease, this has nothing to do with silencing anyone. Everyone has a place of speech. And, from your place, exercise that ethical stance.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Originally published in 2017<\/strong>, Lugar de fala<\/em><\/strong> was the first title in the Cole\u00e7\u00e3o Feminismos Plurais<\/strong> (Plural Feminisms Collection<\/em>) and opened paths for the circulation of Black women and men authors in public, academic and publishing debates. With the new version, Rosa dos Tempos<\/strong> also becomes the publisher of the entire collection.<\/p>\n

Lugar de fala<\/em><\/strong> has 476 pages<\/strong> and a registered release date of June 12, 2026<\/strong>. Expanded and updated, the book revisits the concept in dialogue with discussions that have gained strength in recent years. The publication includes four new chapters<\/strong>, updated data, new intellectual references, a foreword by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<\/strong> and an introduction by Grada Kilomba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The in-person launch of the expanded edition took place on June 9<\/strong> at Espa\u00e7o Feminismos Plurais<\/strong> (Plural Feminisms Space<\/em>) in S\u00e3o Paulo. The entry of Lugar de fala<\/em><\/strong> in the Nielsen-PublishNews Bestsellers List<\/strong> shows that the work continues to mobilize readers precisely because it addresses a sensitive point in Brazilian public life: who speaks, where one speaks from, who is heard and who has historically been authorized to produce knowledge.<\/p>\n
