Feminism from the Indigenous People Perspective
Abstract
First of all, in the following work I intend to present the identity of women from the native peoples, as stated in the framework of the wide women movement in Argentina, from the plurality of social and political trajectories that a statement of this category contains. This first objective revisits the participant observation performed in the Women National Encounters (ENM) (2007-2011). Secondly, I bring forth for consideration, from the native perspective, one of
the political links that the indigenous women are currently debating. I am talking about the connection with feminism.
To access the perspectives regarding feminism and feminists I include a series of interviews performed in women organization spaces outside the ENM’s. It can be deduced from my research that the natives were present since the first Encounter in 1986, strengthening their participation after the 90’s. Using the voices of indigenous women as a source, I could observe that the considerations about feminism and the links with feminist activists cannot be univocally defined. To the contrary, I found indigenous stances of rejection to feminism, as well as critical stances
leaning towards the construction of a joint political agenda. |
