YANES PEREZ, Maritel  and  VERA CORTES, Gabriela. Energy experiences from an intersectional perspective in communities of Tabasco, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Sociol [online]. 2025, vol.87, n.2, pp.369-400.  Epub May 02, 2025. ISSN 2594-0651.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iis.01882503p.2025.2.62741.

This article analyzes the energy needs of a group of cocoa chocolate producers, and artisans from Comalcalco, Cunduacán and Nacajuca, Tabasco, Mexico, to know the uses of energy in the domestic, work and community spheres. From a qualitative methodology, four interviews and five participatory workshops were conducted, subsequently analyzed from an intersectional perspective. Results show that gender, ethnicity and social class are elements that, when intersectected, reveal how energy poverty operates in rural and/or indigenous communities. Indigenous women are the ones who suffer more the energy poverty.

Keywords : energy; intersectionality; Mexican Southeast; gender; indigenous peoples; indigenous women.
