Indigenous Women in Movements: Possible Links Between Gender and Politics

Abstract

Based on a positioned approach with indigenous movements in Brazil, we deal with the possibility of the emergence of the political subject indigenous women in the macro-political scenario of the country and the possible approximation of them with feminism, in particular, postcolonial feminism. We propose reflections on the intersections between race/ethnicity and gender, dialoguing with discourses of different indigenous leaders who occupy both a leading position in the indigenous movement and some strategic political spaces such as the Academy itself. Attention to these multiple narratives becomes important as they provoke tensions involving not only fields of political dispute for rights and visibility, but also theoretical fields of anthropology and feminism.
