This book presents a comparative analysis of the organizing
trajectories of indigenous women's movements in Peru, Mexico, and
Bolivia. The authors' innovative research reveals how the
articulation of gender and ethnicity is central to shape indigenous
women's discourses. It explores the political contexts and internal
dynamics of indigenous movements, to show that they created
different opportunities for women to organize and voice specific
demands. This, in turn, led to various forms of organizational
autonomy for women involved in indigenous movements. The
trajectories vary from the creation of autonomous spaces within
mixed-gender organizations to the creation of independent
organizations. Another pattern is that of women's organizations
maintaining an affiliation to a male-dominated mixed-gender
organization, or what the authors call "gender parallelism". This
book illustrates how, in the last two decades, indigenous women
have challenged various forms of exclusion through different
strategies, transforming indigenous movements' organizations and
collective identities.
