As a result of the neoliberal influences on the state and civil society, the last three decades have seen a significant transformation of the relationship between nongovernmental organizations and social movements throughout the globe. Debate has emerged, discussing and analyzing the phenomenon of the “NGOization of resistance,” a process of social movements and activists becoming co-opted by NGOs in search of legitimacy. Despite analysis exploring the influences and impacts of this trend in feminist, Indigenous, and environmental struggles throughout the globe, the current debate lacks an investigation of this phenomenon at its intersection with pro-Black activism. This paper examines the NGOization of pro-Black mobilization, looking specifically at the relationship between local pro-Black activists in the city of Rio de Janeiro and Anistia Internacional Brasil.
