Intersectionality. Decolonial and community turn
Author: Mara Viveros Vigoya.
Presentation: Flavia Rios.
What underpins the privileges of elites in Latin America? Mara Viveros's answer leaves no doubt about its theoretical and social context in the region: racism, classism, and sexism. For Viveros, it is impossible to discuss class inequalities without addressing racial inequalities, and in this radical way, she introduces racism as a fundamental structure in Latin American societies. The intersectional and decolonial debate that this author presents is part of a rich lineage of reflections on inequalities in Latin America, as well as the fruitful tradition of feminisms as social movements and critical theories. With these contributions, it becomes essential reading for intellectuals and activists fighting for profound transformations in our region.
The Critical Mass library makes available to readers a set of essential texts to interpret the frayed edges of the present and to deploy collective capacities to transform it.
