Representations of Central American women and the colonial knowledge base of social work
Colonial representations of Salvadorian, Guatemalan, Honduran and Nicaraguan women have long shaped global perceptions of the region, particularly in development, humanitarianism and social work. This article reflects on how these portrayals sustain archetypes of white womanhood embedded in foundational understandings of gender-based violence within social work. Drawing on a collaborative project involving Canada, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras…
Integrating Afrocentric praxis in intimate partner violence and HIV care for African, Caribbean, and Black women
The Art of Data Analysis
Using theater and performance, the building of “We are not the Others” brought into discussion—How does the researcher ethically “code” data to re-present the stories of Women Immigrants who are understood as the Other to achieve the social justice goals? This article explores these questions and asks, “What is the purpose and politics of an embodied performance of/by the Other for White audiences?” These questions framed the processes of creatin…
Racialized Immigrants’ Encounters of Barriers and Facilitators in Seeking Mental Healthcare Services in Ontario, Canada
Circulos de Conversación [Talking Circles] and Art-Based Methods
This paper seeks to contribute to the carving [of] spaces that enable researchers to acompañar [walk with/accompany] a process of those that hold both ancient and cosmic knowledge carried across generations through oral traditions. Thus, it presents a pathway to a qualitative research methodology used to gather Indigenous Women's experiences of inclusion/exclusion in a country in South America. More specifically, the goal of this paper is to disc…
Conversations from around the coffee table
Moving towards social justice requires a deconstruction of the current work and leadership systems that contribute to and are rooted in oppression. (Re) visioning leadership must exist outside to dismantle the dominant discourses. In the community, social justice work has the opportunity to use love and hope to guide the processes. This article presents the findings from our, the coauthor’s convivio – we are a group of women living in Canada, mem…
Trapped within the logic of modernity/coloniality
Background Academic research is the site where the production and dissemination of knowledge are embedded in Eurocentric epistemologies which are posited as universal and non‐Eurocentric knowledges are devalued, dismissed, and ignored. Objectives The goal was to explore the tensions that emerged between the Global North team and the Global South team, from the Global North's perspective. Methods This paper a collaborative autoethnography to trace…
We don’t talk about Trauma
This article draws upon data from a Canadian study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The focus was on how trauma has been experienced by three communities who have been historically marginalized: The El Salvadorian community, Indigenous peoples and those identifying as 2STLGBQIA+. The focus of this article is on the Salvadorian diaspora in Canada, which has the shared experience of historical colonial trauma; on-going…
The Cost of 'A Better Life
Aim: The aim of the study is to learn how children left behind in El Salvador and Nicaragua, due to parental migration, experience care across borders. Demographics: 80 participants: adolescents ( n = 21; age 13-18 years; 11 females and 10 males); emerging adults ( n = 10; age 19-30 years; whose parents had migrated when they were children); grandparents and guardians caring for children whose parents had migrated ( n = 14; 12 females and 2 males…
Using auto-ethnography to bring visibility to coloniality
This article traces how coloniality traps research and researchers in the Global North into maintaining the rigidity of its politics and logics through the meaning process. As International Social Work continues to gain popularity, supporting the proliferation of research across borders, the theoretical underpinnings must be unpacked with the context of the collaboration and the cultures involved that give meaning to both. The crux of the article…
From our ownselves’
This article contributes to the ethical and practical conceptualizations of centring marginalized voices in research across borders. This project worked within the parameters of international social work (ISW) in Perú, which is a space where the advancement of globalization and colonization has deepened the historical exclusion and marginality of Indigenous women. To work towards social justice, this project developed creative innovative approach…
Global Agendas – Local Realities
In the past two decades, there has been a proliferation of attention at the international and local levels, on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) of children in Nicaragua. National policy and legislative changes, task forces and strategic plans aimed at criminalizing the demand side (consumers) of CSE have yielded minimal results. Using the concept of community trauma within an ecological framework, where relationships and social interactio…
Disrupting knowledge in the arts
‘We are not the Others’ is an artful representation of women’s migration stories woven together through a series of spoken vignettes, developed from social work research. This way of seeing lived experience is useful as it enhances knowledge that may not be ascertained in the social work encounter. These learnings provide feedback on services and the hazards of Canada. The article begins with a discussion of the colonial other in relation to migr…
Marianismo
Rooted in colonialism, via forced patriarchal religiosity among indigenous groups, Marianismo in its contemporary form is the result of the intrinsic psychological and sociopolitical weaving of early colonialism into behaviors/values/practices considered “normal” in the present day. Subsequently, Marianismo has been portrayed as a specifically Latin American “cultural” practice and has come to denote the racialized “other
International social work
This article draws on the author’s personal experiences of engaging in ethically driven research and development in the Caribbean and Central America. Specifically, it explores how issues of transnational identity and belonging are constantly being renegotiated within the colonial matrix, and the position the author was accorded by the actors involved. These complex and nuanced processes led the author to reposition herself in relation to the var…
Trafficking of Women and Children in Latin America
Collective Trauma as a Personal/Social Concern for Persons within Marginalized Communities
Value Transmission Among Salvadorian Mothers and Daughters
Cross-Border Family Therapy
In the era of transnationalism, family therapists working with immigrant women are provided with the space to be innovative in their search for alternatives to Eurocentric approaches. Doing so can help therapists to best serve working-class immigrants and refugees who arrive in North America to escape violence and poverty. The case presented in this article highlights the cross-border interconnectedness between a Salvadoran refugee woman in Canad…
Building resilience and resistance against racism and discrimination among Salvadorian female youth in Canada
This paper reports on the findings of a qualitative study (32 in‐depth interviews) with Salvadorian mothers and their daughters. In particular this paper focuses on the strategies that mothers and daughters utilized to resist prejudice and racism in their settlement country, Canada. Findings contribute to the literature specifically by drawing attention to the importance of ethnic pride in helping mothers and their daughters bridge significant st…
