URBIETA-HERNANDEZ, Roque. Ethnofeminisms in the peuple era: ethnopopulist movements, indigenous women, and political violence in Latin America (1934-1990). CONfines relacion. internaci. ciencia política [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.37, pp.81-101.  Epub May 03, 2024. ISSN 1870-3569.  https://doi.org/10.46530/cf.vi37/cnfns.n37.p81-101.

Ethnofeminism is a variant of real populism that emerges within the critical ethnopopulist movement at the moment of struggles against patriarchal domination and the consciousness of equality by articulating popular and democratic demands for gender justice and ethnic dignity in contexts of historical-structural inequalities. It desires, as a revolutionary strategy, the production of nation-people as a radical, polarized, plural, flexible, and heterogeneous discursive space. I propose in this article to analyze the becoming of ethnofeminist peuple in Latin America from the testimony of a Zapotec woman in the framework of political violence in Mexico. With her life history I will show the limits of the participation of indigenous women in contemporary Marxist ethnopulist movements. Rethinking this case study, the volume will contribute in reflecting on the combination of ethnic, gender, and populist studies in multicultural neoliberal societies.

Keywords : people; etnofeminism; indigenous women; indigenous feminism; ethnopopulist movement; political violence.
