Mar'a Lugones, one of the premiere figures in feminist philosophy,
has at last collected some of her most famous essays, as well as
some lesser-known gems, into her first book,
Pilgrimages/Peregrinajes. A deeply original essayist, Lugones
writes from her own perspective as an inhabitant of a number of
different 'worlds.' Born in Argentina but living for a number of
years in the United States, she sees herself as neither quite a
U.S. citizen, nor quite an Argentine. An activist against the
oppression of Latino/a people by the dominant U.S. culture, she is
also an academic participating in the privileges of that culture. A
lesbian, she experiences homophobia in both Anglo and Latino world.
A woman, she moves uneasily in the world of patriarchy. Lugones
writes out of multiple and conflicting subjectivities that shape
her sense of who she is, resisting the demand for a unified self in
light of her necessary ambiguities. Pilgrimages/Peregrinajes
explores the possibility of deep coalition with other women of
color, based on 'multiple understandings of oppressions and
resistances' understandings whose logic she subjects to
philosophical investigation.
