DIAZ INIGO, Carolina Elizabeth. Recognizing Feminist and Rebellious Anthropologies from Peripheral Territories. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2024, vol.19, e691.  Epub Mar 01, 2024. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2024.v19.691.

The book Antropologías feministas en rebeldía en Chiapas y Centroamérica [which could translate as Feminist Anthropologies in Rebellion in Chiapas and Central America] by Marisa Ruiz Trejo journeys through important debates about different forms of feminism, anthropology, and the social sciences. Through recovering the buried works of rebellious women researchers, anthropologists, writers, and ethnographers in peripheral contexts, the author crystallizes a compelling feminist policy that seeks to vindicate women’s fruitful contributions in a region that inspired the construction of situated, committed, and embodied knowledge. These contributions deeply challenge the androcentrism rooted in the canonical ways of producing knowledge in the fields of anthropology and the social sciences. At the same time, they are an invitation to search for new questions and debates within the field of feminisms in rebellion, in dialogue with earlier and current generations of feminist researchers.

Keywords : feminist epistemologies; feminisms in rebellion; women anthropologists; feminist critical studies; feminist ethnography.
