Description

In many Latin American countries, guerrilla struggle and feminism have been linked in surprising ways. Women were mobilized by the thousands to advertise revolutionary agendas that had little to do with increasing gender equality. They ended up creating a uniquely Latin American version of feminism that combined revolutionary goals of economic equality and social justice with in most cases feminist aims of equality, nonviolence, and reproductive rights.Drawing on more than 200 interviews with women in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and the Mexican state of Chiapas, Karen Kampwirth tells the story of how the guerrilla wars led to the upward push of feminism, why certain women become feminists, and what kinds of feminist movements they built. Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chiapas explores how the violent politics of guerrilla struggle may well be related to the peaceful politics of feminism. It considers the gains, losses, and internal conflicts within revolutionary women’s organizations. Feminism and the Legacy of Revolution challenges old assumptions regarding revolutionary movements and the legacy of those movements for the politics of day by day life. It’ll appeal to a broad, interdisciplinary audience in political science, sociology, anthropology, women’s studies, and Latin American studies in addition to to general readers with an interest in international feminism.
