| Resumo: | The coloniality of race and gender is marked by violence and genocide in Latin America. Development, in its main streams, has been strictly related to economic growth. From the intense criticism of coloniality and development, alternatives to development emerge, feminisms guided by racialized peoples and decolonization as a process of moving away from Eurocentric ontology. This article aims to present community feminism as a decolonizing experience, an alternative to the Eurocentric development model, from the theory and practice of indigenous women. Its originality lies in bringing feminist contributions into the discussion of (and against) development, thus relating the concepts of community feminism as a way of decolonizing Latin American bodies and knowledge. We start from the assumption that the resistance offered by Latin American women and community feminists are enriching movements, not only for feminist theories but for all counter-hegemonic and anti-capitalist proposals to break with the ideology of development. |
