Abstract

In this article I am interested in presenting  with their own voice, how Black Afrocolombian women opt  for the formation of an “other” feminism, from within places of ancestral resistance, as  well as in discussion with white feminism and the black movement in a double critique which considers it essential to be part of the struggles of black people for their collective rights and territory. This article aims at contributing to the emergence of historically silenced voices and discarded experiences that speak from their subordinate corporeality, as well as the emergence of an epistemic dialogue among Colombian black women and from the region, which makes visible a diversity of voices and allows for the theorization of experience, contributing to resolving serious problems that not only black communities live through in Colombia, but the region in general.
