Teología India
Reshaping Spirituality
Departing from Christian spiritualities, even those emerging from feminist theologians and Latin American eco feminist liberation theologies, the indigenous women ́s movements started to propose their own “indigenous spirituality.” In some key meetings like the “First Summit of Indigenous Women of the Americas” and at other later meetings, their basic documents, final declarations, collective proposals have a spiritual component that departs from…

Esta obra colegiada tiene un encuentro luminoso con la liberación de los pueblos oprimidos. Su destino está trazado: va a convertirse en una obra de referencia y lo será cada vez más en la medida en que los años pasen. Es una obra de nuestro tiempo, en lo que nuestro tiempo ofrece de más genuina esperanza a los pueblos oprimidos, de más articulada visión de los retos de la liberación, de más consistente diseño de los caminos sentipensantes de la …

Women and Indigenous Religions
This book examines the critical and often undervalued contributions of women to the culture, well-being, and subsistence of their communities as active, powerful, and wise ritual specialists. From the Dalit midwives in India to the women of the Nahua region in the state of Morelos, Mexico, from the indigenous nations in Turtle Island in Canada to the shamans (male and female) of South Korea and Vietnam, there are still many vital indigenous cultu…

Twenty-five years of mexican feminisms
Globalization has influenced Mexican feminism—its politics are no longer strictly local or regional; but at local level Mexican feminists continue to work towards demarginalising themselves and occupying a more central position in Mexican politics. This article explores the development of feminism in Mexico, its origins in earlier political struggles for freedom, and its development from the 1970s according to local demands for women's rights. In…
Symposium on Religion and Gender
Embodied Religious Thought
Soon Huemac found out [that] his daughter was sick. He then asked the women who were taking care of her ‘What did she do? [. . .] How did this heat enter my daughter?’ And the women who took care of her answered, ‘It’s the Tohuenyo, he who’s selling chili: he has put fire in her, he’s made her restless. That’s how it began, that’s how it is that she fell sick’. -Codice Matritense Body perceptions are embedded both in gender and culture. Mesoameri…

Indigenous Eroticism and Colonial Morality in Mexico
This article explores the impact of the Conquest on eroticism and the place of the feminine in 16th century indigenous society in Mexico. It shows how this most intimate area of human experience became the battleground of a war that amounted in part to a cultural annihilation. The article analyses one aspect of the missionaries' well-intentioned "battle to save people's souls". Like in previous, internal forms of violent subjugation of one cultur…
