OROZCO MARTINEZ, Teresa  and  ZAPATA GALINDO, Martha. Critical Interpretation of a Populist Feminist Manifesto. Debate fem. [online]. 2021, vol.61, pp.1-18.  Epub May 10, 2023. ISSN 2594-066X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cieg.2594066xe.2021.61.2236.

In this article we propose a critical interpretation of the Manifesto for 99% Feminism, which, taking up the slogan of the Occupy movement, calls for the creation of a global alliance between the various feminisms of the March 8 strikes and the marches against Trump in America. We are interested in discussing the routes proposed by the authors of this text -Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya and Nancy Fraser- to create a hegemonic bloc that will be able to confront and transform the policies of neoliberal capitalism. At the same time, we wish to draw attention to the risks involved in a political proposal that expresses a populist feminism, which operates with abstract antagonisms that reproduce historical oblivion and epistemic hierarchies between the Global North and South and polarize current feminisms.

Keywords : 99% Feminism; Neoliberalism; Anticapitalism; Antigenderism.
