Agendas feministas anti-racistas y descoloniales, la búsqueda del locus de enunciación del ser mestiza
A pesar de la extensa producción académica generada en las últimas dos décadas desde y sobre los feminismos descoloniales, existe un vacío significativo respecto al locus de enunciación de mujeres mestizas y los compromisos ético-políticos que debemos asumir como parte de las luchas colectivas contra las estructuras coloniales. Este ensayo contribuye al campo incipiente sobre el mestizaje y blanquitud dentro de los feminismos descoloniales. Aunqu…

This article focuses on the interplay between shifting regulatory practices of the Mexican neoliberal state and attempts to destabilize them by Zapatista civilian support bases, as they enact practices of autonomy, particularly through the sphere of conflict resolution. In doing so, the article suggests that the cultural practices of justice unsettle relevant regulatory forces during a particular moment in Chiapas state formation and are hence ce…

"Zapatista Anticapitalist Politics and the "Other Campaign: Learning from the Struggle for Indigenous Rights and Autonomy
Zapatista indigenous autonomy offers new political road maps that chart courses through a complex and contradictory terrain marked by a rearticulation of neoliberal hegemonic forces and a legacy of left politics of recognition positioned between mestizaje ideologies and Indianist discourses. The emerging cartography locates practices of resistance to the political-economic and the cultural logics of late capitalism in the ways in which autonomy l…
