This book addresses a growing area of concern for scholars and
development practitioners: discriminatory gender norms in legally
plural settings. Focusing specifically on indigenous women, this
book analyses how they, often in alliance with supporters and
allies, have sought to improve their access to justice. Development
practitioners working in the field of access to justice have tended
to conceive indigenous legal systems as either inherently
incompatible with women's rights or, alternatively, they have
emphasised customary law's advantageous features, such as its
greater accessibility, familiarity and effectiveness. Against this
background - and based on a comparison of six thus far
underexplored initiatives of legal and institutional change in
Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia - Anna Barrera Vivero provides a more
nuanced, ethnographic, understanding of how women navigate through
context-specific constellations of interlegality in their search
for justice. In so doing, moreover, her account of ongoing
political debates and local struggles for gender justice grounds
the elaboration of a comprehensive conceptual framework for
understanding the legally plural dynamics involved in the
contestation of discriminatory gender norms.
