MILLAN MONCAYO, Márgara. Feminismos, postcolonialidad, descolonización: ¿del centro a los Márgenes?. Andamios [online]. 2011, vol.8, n.17, pp.11-36. ISSN 2594-1917.

The call for this number's dossier of papers invite us to clarify the place from which we think about the interweaving between feminism as critique and postcoloniality, as a theoretical enterprise as well as a condition desired and "to become". This essay wants to ask about these relations placing center-stage in the transformative energy and commitment of feminist critique, and paying attention to the fact that the subject of feminism is multiple and contradictory. Thus, in the core of the question about the dialogue and the shared terrain between critical feminism and postcoloniality is the notion of modernity and its relation to capitalist configuration of the world. I want to think on these hidden tensions from the Mexican context.

Keywords : Feminisms; coloniality/decolonization; indigenism; nation; modernity.
