Summary

• "This book provides an introduction to the key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly, the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication between gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions"--
• Decolonial Feminism in Abya Yala is a collection of eleven chapters and an introduction that develop key arguments in decolonial feminism, particularly the coloniality of gender, the critique of white and Eurocentric feminisms, the imbrication of gender, race, and colonialism, feminicides, and the coloniality of democracy and public institutions. The introduction addresses the path of decolonial feminism: from a new approach of understanding the relationship between gender as a category, race, and colonialism that combined U.S. Third World feminism and scholarship on coloniality and decoloniality, to its exponential growth in the hands of activists and engaged scholars from Latin America and the Caribbean. Today, much of the literature on decolonial feminism in Latin America and the Caribbean remains unknown in the U.S. This anthology seeks to start remedying this problem with eight translations of work originally written in Spanish and three chapters originally written in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial feminism, as well as its contributions to important contemporary political and intellectual debates--back cover.
