Marxism and Feminism in LAP's First Decade
Marxism, Feminism, and the Struggle for Democracy in Latin America
This chapter discusses the relationship of feminism and Marxism to ideas about democracy and socialism and about the relationship of Marxist and feminist perspectives to each other in the context of contemporary social movements in Latin America. The basic argument is that there is a growing convergence of thinking on issues that once divided or were the source of serious tension. The importance of pluralism and democracy and its relationship to …
The War Goes On
March 23, 1983. Amid pomp and ceremony, Rios Montt celebrates a year in power. The Guatemalan Right has bought time, but it is emerging from its scorched-earth euphoria to realize that its problems
Latin American Perspectives
Transnational Family Separation
Existing scholarly literature and public discussions in sending and receiving countries often attempt to assess the costs and benefits of transnational family separation, not from the point of view of the participants but by universalising notions of motherhood and fatherhood without recognising different familial contexts and traditions. Such universalisation often results in separated families being defined as pathological, and transnational pa…
The Sanctuary Movement and Central American Activism in Los Angeles
The Sanctuary movement of the 1980s combined religious faith and social activism to provide refuge for Central Americans fleeing violence and persecution and to raise awareness of the responsibility associated with U.S. policy in the region. Features of the Los Angeles area, such as its large Latino population, provided support and a sense of community; in this sense the city itself was a sanctuary. The presence of many Central Americans who brou…

Encountering Latin American and Caribbean Feminisms
This article examines the Latin American and Caribbean Feminist Encuentros as critical transnational sites for the collective re-imagining of feminist politics in the region. Paying special attention to the most recent regional gathering, held in Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic in 1999, we analyze the major political and philosophical debates that have emerged during twenty years of Encuentros: 1) shifting conceptions of movement "autonomy" and fe…
Encontrando os feminismos latino-americanos e caribenhos
Este artigo examina os Encontros Latino-Americanos e do Caribe como espaços críticos transnacionais onde se re-imagina a política dos feminismos na região. Enfocando o Oitavo desses Encontros, realizado em Juan Dolio, República Dominicana, em 1999, analisamos os principais debates politicos e filosóficos que surgiram durante 20 anos de Encontros: (1) mudanças nas concepções de 'autonomia' do movimento e na relação dos feminismos com o movimento d…

Of Straw Men and Stereotypes
Long before David Stoll's book appeared and the New York Times journalist Larry Rohter (1998) gleefully proclaimed it a definitive expose of Guatemala's only Nobel Prize winner since Miguel Angel Asturias (and the only indigenous female, let alone Guatemalan, to become an international icon), there were articles and interviews purporting to summarize Stoll's argument and his motives for advancing it. From exposure to a few of these I formed my fi…

Global Economic Restructuring and International Migration
The purpose of this article is to explore the relationship between processes of global economic restructuring and international migration through an examination of Mexican and Central American immigration to the U.S. and the experiences of Central American and Mexican immigrants in the U.S. This relationship is analysed as one of mutual causation: on the one hand, global restructuring affects conditions in both sending and receiving countries (it…

Central American Migration
The subject of Central American migration encompasses a broad range of experiences that challenge traditional approaches to migration studies. Past interpretations of migration have tended to be based on mutually exclusive typologies or to focus on certain dimensions of migration while excluding others. Thus migration could be internal or international, cyclical, temporary, or permanent, voluntary or involuntary, economically or politically motiv…
Marxism, Feminism, and the Struggle for Democracy in Latin America
While discussions of dissolving the hyphen between Marxism and feminism were put on the back burner in the United States and England in the 1980s, the author argues that changes in Latin America during the same decade favor a possible convergence of contemporary Marxist and feminist theory and practice. These conditions include the emergence of a second-wave feminist movement in many Latin America countries, the central role of women in contempor…
Guest Editors' Introduction
Revolutionary Popular Feminism in Nicaragua
On March 8, 1987, the Sandinista Liberation Front (FSLN, the political party in power in Nicaragua) published its statement on the relation of women's struggles to the Nicaraguan revolution. The author argues that this official statement is consistent with the views of modern feminists on some key points relating to the need to eliminate women's double day, promote women's self-organization, and wage an ideological struggle against sexism if wome…

Toward a New Understanding of Development and Underdevelopment
Dependency theory has contributed to contemporary Marxist analysis by questioning outmoded interpretations of imperialism, pointing out weaknesses in many theoretical explanations of development and underdevelopment, and advocating a study of the dynamics and effects of imperialism from the point of view of imperialized (satellite) societies rather than imperialist (metropolis) ones. It directly confronted Marxists with the need to reexamine the …

Familia, economía y trabajo de la mujer en Guatemala
La interrelación entre la economía y la familia siempre ha sido tema de interés para los investigadores del cambio social. La familia como universidad básica de toda sociedad de clase ha sido vista tanto como consecuencia de procesos sociales como de industrialización, así como determinante de ellos. Pero a pesar de su centralidad como tema en la historia y la sociología, el marco teórico a través del cual se relaciona el cambio de la familia con…
Working-Class Feminism
The history of women, like that of other oppressed groups, has been hidden from us only now to be recovered painstakingly, bit by bit, as the result of the pressure of a social movement. Much of the history of working class, poor, and peasant women is not only buried but lost forever, never having been written down in official documents, diaries, or novels. We will never know very much about the dreams, the struggles, the details of daily life of…
