The struggles for independence in Latin America during the first half of the nineteenth century were accompanied by a wide-ranging debate about political rights, nationality and citizenship. In South American Independence, Catherine Davies, Claire Brewster and Hilary Owen investigate the neglected role of gender in that discussion. Examining women writers from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia, the book traces the contradictions inherent in revolutionary movements that, while arguing for the rights of all, remained ambivalent, at best, about the place of women. Through studies of both published and unpublished writings, South American Independence reveals the complex role of women in shaping the vexed ideologies of independence

The work recovers affective-sexual trajectories of black Brazilian women from different socioeconomic contexts and generations and analyzes subjective and interpersonal experiences in the online world and beyond. The author takes a look at the issue centered on the intersectionality of gender and race and establishes a useful dialogue with canonical works of Brazilian social thought, gender studies and black feminism. The complex, multidimensional and sensitive approach to the theme investigated explores the delicate weaves of subjectivity and intimacy to unveil how the articulation of gender and race in Brazilian society establishes ways of seeing, being and feeling, crystallizing bonds and separations.

A flor de cuerpo reúne ensayos sobre las representaciones del género y de las disidencias sexo-genéricas en Latinoamérica en el campo cultural (literatura, cine, cómic, teatro, música, fanzines, artes y artivismos) y los movimientos sociales. Pretende hacerse desde el Sur y para el Sur, a la vez que alimenta los también necesarios diálogos Sur-Norte y Norte-Sur. Las investigaciones abordan el trabajo de artistas y activistas latinoamericanxs queer, feministas y/o antirracistas como una comunidad transnacional y heterogénea. El libro, con un enfoque interseccional, pretende visibilizar las condiciones concretas en las que viven las mujeres y la disidencia sexo-genérica en Latinoamérica, discutir sus múltiples estrategias de resistencia y sus contradiscursos para eludir los mecanismos de opresión específicos de la región, resultantes de una mezcla de fuerzas allí presentes: el efecto prolongado de la colonialidad (del poder, del saber y del género) y el racismo subyacente, estructuras patriarcales locales, antiguas o inventadas, o aun las diversas mezclas culturales que, a lo largo del tiempo, produjeron dinámicas propias irrepetibles en otras partes del mundo.

This book is a banner hoisted so that readers and readers can understand and position themselves in the current conjuncture in which the theme of sexual and gender diversity are placed in the lives of countless popular class organizations and some leftist political parties. The 19 researchers and activists of social movements and LGBT contributed to the debate with articles that discuss, with some differences, the theme of sexual and gender diversity from a historical-critical reading of social reality and the current panorama of the class struggle in Brazil. This collection represents the accumulation built in the last period from initiatives of the Florestan Fernandes National School (ENFF); of the MST; of movements of the Via Campesina, the Popular Consultation and the Popular Levante of Youth.

This book develops a legal history of colonial women as a methodological approach to studying the women of Paraíba, a captaincy on the northeast coast of Brazil, from the end of the Dutch occupation (1661) to Brazilian independence in 1822. It uses the concept of multiple normativities to analyse dozens of daily life cases from Portuguese and Brazilian archives. To study women's everyday normative contexts in a colonial space, the author analyses traditional Ius Commune and Portuguese legal sources from different jurisdictions, but also legal doctrines, medical treatises, moralist works and literature to enrich interpretations in women's history, gender studies, feminist legal theory and legal history. Furthermore, she examines the impact of these normative traditions in the colonial Captaincy of Paraíba and focuses on normativities of a more pragmatic character, analysing archival documents portraying women's daily life situations relating to both secular and religious jurisdictions. The analysis demonstrates that the law from the metropole neither offered pre-established solutions for women's daily lives, nor was it applied unchanged in the colony. On the ground, law was dynamic, and the interplay of multiple normativities provided different possibilities that depended on the intersection of women's condition and status, religion and sexual options, proving that sex and gender categories are not immutable, but, on the contrary, flexible according to the practices of law in colonial Paraíba.
