Reflections on the struggles of the (feminist?) Zapatista women

Abstract

Notes for reflecting and clarifying some of the epistemic challenges between the theory and the concepts that serve as a bases for urban and/or North geopolitical feminisms. Their internal variants are recognized, and this comparative essay presents proposals emerging from the Zapatista movement. These struggles by Zapatista women focus simultaneously on their rights as women and those which they share in the defense of their land and territory. They are struggling against the dispossession caused by megaprojects and how these impact multiple communities and “indigenous” peoples, not only against their land, territory, but also against their epistemic particularities.
