Descrição
Resumo:Despite two decades of extensive scholarship on and from decolonial feminisms, there is a significant gap in the space of enunciation of mestiza women and the ethical political commitments we must assume as part of broader collective struggles against colonial power structures. This article contributes to the incipient body of knowledge produced on mestizaje and whiteness within decolonial feminisms in Latin America. Although it is a priority to listen to and learn from Indigenous and Afro-descendant women, regardless if whether they identify as feminists, the political commitment of mestiza women cannot remain limited to this first step. On the contrary, it must expand to include critical reflections and collective proposals as part of broader anti-colonial struggles.
