Seminar paper del año 2014 en eltema Romanística - Estudios españoles, Nota: 1,7, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen (Institut für Romanistik), Materia: Temas actuales de Latinoamérica, Idioma: Español, Resumen: Históricamente, la existencia de los pueblos indígenas siempre ha sido un gran desafío, porque sus formas originarias de vida han sido constantemente violentadas. Desde la invasión y posterior colonización del continente americano hasta la violación de sus derechos a diferentes niveles, por ejemplo a nivel material, con la destrucción de sus sistemas económicos, o a nivel espiritual, con los intentos de erradicar sus tradiciones y costumbres así como su vínculo con la naturaleza (cf. ECMIA 2013: 5). Las más afectadas por estos problemas son las mujeres indígenas que tienen una vida dura, precisamente por ser mujer y por ser indígena. Viven en un mundo en el que tienen que temer por sus derechos y que está determinado por los hombres. En vez de apoyo y respeto, las mujeres sufren violencia, son responsables de todo lo que tiene que ver con el hogar y la familia y, muchas veces, no tienen acceso a una educación escolar. Así, sin los conocimientos necesarios, no se creen capaces de participar en decisiones importantes en cuanto a la vida en la comunidad indígena y renuncian a sus derechos básicos. Partiendo de este contexto, el objetivo del siguiente trabajo es abordar tres temas por los que sobre todo las mujeres indígenas son afectadas: la violencia, la carencia de educación y de participación política. En primer lugar y para dar una visión de conjunto, se empieza por alguna información sobre la población indígena en general y sobre las mujeres en especial.

For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

Sandino's Daughters, Margaret Randall's conversations with Nicaraguan women in their struggle against the dictator Somoza in 1979, brought the lives of a group of extraordinary female revolutionaries to the American and world public. The book remains a landmark. Now, a decade later, Randall returns to interview many of the same women and others. In Sandino's Daughters Revisited, they speak of their lives during and since the Sandinista administration, the ways in which the revolution made them strong--and also held them back. Ironically, the 1990 defeat of the Sandinistas at the ballot box has given Sandinista women greater freedom to express their feelings and ideas.
