Abstract

ARTEAGA BOHRT, Ana Cecilia. Experiences from the collaborative and feminist ethnographic process with indigenous women's organizations. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2022, n.43, pp.243-268.  Epub May 16, 2022. ISSN 1794-2489.

From an ethnographic, reflexive theoretical approach, I describe four collective processes driven by indigenous women (two in Mexico, two in Bolivia), focusing in preventing gender-based violence, women's participation in politics, and the defense of women’s collective and individual rights. Then I tell and analyze how I accompanied four organizing experiences, underlining how I applied a collaborative engaged methodology, along with a feminist community-based decolonial approach. By looking at these methodologies and approaches, I also develop collaborative focus as political engagement, considering the contributions being achieved through active participation by female social actors, as well as the hindrances and challenges we as scholars face in collective processes leading to knowledge production.

Keywords : collaborative methodology; decolonial ferminisms; communtiy-based feminisms; Indigenous women and organizing processes.
