Indigenous Women's Movements in Latin America, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017 Gender and Ethnicity in Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia Crossing Boundaries of Gender and Politics in the Global South Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteurs : Rousseau Stéphanie, Morales Hudon Anahi
This book presents a comparative analysis of the organizing trajectories of indigenous women?s movements in Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia. The authors? innovative research reveals how the articulation of gender and ethnicity is central to shape indigenous women?s discourses. It explores the political contexts and internal dynamics of indigenous movements, to show that they created different opportunities for women to organize and voice specific demands. This, in turn, led to various forms of organizational autonomy for women involved in indigenous movements. The trajectories vary from the creation of autonomous spaces within mixed-gender organizations to the creation of independent organizations. Another pattern is that of women?s organizations maintaining an affiliation to a male-dominated mixed-gender organization, or what the authors call ?gender parallelism?. This book illustrates how, in the last two decades, indigenous women have challenged various forms of exclusion through different strategies, transforming indigenous movements? organizations and collective identities.
