Description
Summary:In this article I propose to highlight the central elements that demarcate Latin American feminisms from the epistemological shifts engendered in the global South as opposed to Eurocentred perspectives and, in particular, hegemonic/western feminism. To this end, I resort to a literature review around the critique of the coloniality of power, gender coloniality and discursive coloniality of hegemonic feminisms in the South from the debates engendered by decolonial feminist critiques, towards the construction of a knowledge situated for the production of Latin American feminist epistemologies from the margins (BIDASECA et al, 2011). The aim is to situate theoretically the concept of decolonial feminisms as a tool category for analysis.
