Maria 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.
This is a collection of ten 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 between 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 to 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 seven translations of work
originally written in Spanish, and three essays originally written
in English that address the fundamental concepts of decolonial
feminism as well as its contributions to important contemporary
political and intellectual debates.

In this interdisciplinary volume, contributors analyze the
expression of Latina/o cultural identity through performance. With
music, theater, dance, visual arts, body art, spoken word,
performance activism, fashion, and street theater as points of
entry, contributors discuss cultural practices and the fashoning of
identity in Latino/a communities throughout the US. Examining the
areas of crossover between Latin and American cultures gives new
meaning to the notion of "borderlands." This volume features senior
scholars and up-and-coming academics from cultural, visual, and
performance studies, folklore, and ethnomusicology.
