Item type:Publication, Andean women’s persistence amidst racialized gendered impoverishment, capitalist incursions, and post-conflict hauntings(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-06-02)Throughout the last four decades, Andean women from the highland communities of Peru have been significantly affected by ongoing neoliberal capitalist development and patriarchal structures. These intersecting violence(s) took on more horrific dimensions during the Peruvian armed conflict (1980–2000) and have contributed to multiple psychosocial sequelae that linger in the daily lives on these communities as “ghostly matters.” Seeking to face these experiences in a context of ongoing material impoverishment, Andean women from highland communities have initiated multiple associations or economic collective projects. The authors accompanied a group of women who formed a knitting association and facilitated a feminist participatory action research (FPAR), creating opportunities through which these women could engage in action-reflection processes toward enhancing their association. Twelve women from this FPAR process agreed to be interviewed by the first author who sought to explore their understandings about the processes of forming their association in this post-conflict context and the challenges they were facing. Interview transcripts were analyzed using Charmaz’s constructivist grounded theory coding strategy. The findings reveal multiple challenges for women’s collaborative work created by ongoing racialized gendered violence and its intra- and interpersonal effects. Moreover, the findings confirmed that capitalist development dynamics, and, more particularly, resources introduced by agents from outside the community, bring both gains and losses for Andean women. The latter reported having learned skills that allowed them to better insert themselves in a market economy, but that these new activities were displacing more community-based Indigenous practices and traditions. Finally, this study reveals that the wounds created by the armed conflict generated multiple forms of silence that prevent Andean peasants from openly expressing their desires. Despite this, the women in this FPAR process and participants in these interviews are engaging in action-based responses through which they are overcoming some of these challenges and sustaining their association. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications for mental health professionals and activist-scholars working with Indigenous communities affected by armed conflict by underscoring the limitations of interventions based exclusively on the spoken word and arguing for action-based approaches that draw on bottom-up knowledge and practices. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Migration processes in Indigenous women post internal armed conflict in Peru(Sociedad Interamericana de Psicologia, 2024-09-09)This paper presents an analysis of the migratory movements of indigenous women in the community of Sacsamarca, Ayacucho, Peru. Based on the qualitative method, life histories and field ethnography were used as sources of data collection. The results indicate that the migration of indigenous women is an Andean community practice, made possible by a network of paisanaje that acts as a facilitating factor. In addition, the findings show that the Internal Armed Conflict (CAI) is a breaking point in the dynamics of the migration processes of Andean communities in Peru and, in the case of these women, it helps to understand the two-way process, since Sacsamarca is a community whose characteristics allow them to return. It is concluded that it is a dynamic process of coming and going, which questions the territorial-geographical-limits of the community and the unidirectional conception of migration. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Las cadenas como medio de vida(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-06-10)In a context of greater financing for conservation projects with a focus on territorial market development in the Peruvian Amazon, this research seeks to understand how the livelihoods of indigenous women producers can configure the dynamics of value chains through their trajectories. Therefore, the present study is based on the experience of the community of Shampuyacu, where the NGO Conservation International intervenes through agreements and conservation projects. Specifically, the case of the Bosque de las Nuwas Association and its tourism and infusion value chain initiatives will be analyzed. To analyze this case, we describe the dynamics of the chain, characterize the configuration of women’s livelihoods, and analyze how the association of women’s different assets and the trajectories they have in the value chain is interrelated to its dynamics. The qualitative and exploratory study finds that women’s trajectories differ by virtue of their social assets, mediated by ethnicity and relations between clans, the generalized context of gender violence, and support systems for care. Regarding human assets, the level of education can define the adoption of leadership in the chain or generate exclusion, causing conflicts. Finally, the use of natural assets such as family gardens can be an opportunity to scale up the chain, but the lack of coordination between actors doesn’t make it possible. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Educational Trajectories Among Young Indigenous Women in Amazonia: A Quest for Gender Equity and Interculturality(Wiley, 2025-09-01)This article examines a growing demand for higher education among Indigenous Amazonian women, exploring their educational goals and the challenges they face. We examine how young women's desire to access new educational opportunities is entwined with an aspiration to become new kinds of persons, but also to support their own communities. We argue that women's demand for education is actively shaping new futures, opening new pathways toward educational inclusion and leadership on their own terms.Scopus© Citations 2 3
