My double identity as a scholar and a member for ten years of a feminist organization that works against sexual and domestic violence through a center that supports women and minors, where a considerable percentage of the users are indigenous women, led me to confront both the idealizing discourses on indigenous culture of an important sector of Mexican anthropology and the ethnocentrism of an important sector of liberal feminism. In a polarized context where women’s rights have been presented as incompatible with peoples’ collective rights, it has been difficult to propose more nuanced viewpoints on indigenous cultures that recognize the power dialogues that constitute them, but that also assert indigenous peoples’ right to their own culture and self-determination. At this political crossroads, it was the indigenous women themselves who offered me clues on how to rethink indigenous demands from a non-essentialist perspective. Their theorizations on culture, tradition, and gender equity, set down in political documents, memoires of encounters, and public discourses, but also systematized in their intellectual writings, are fundamental perspectives that must be taken into account by the project to decolonize feminist anthropology. In this paper I would like to address the intercultural dialogues with indigenous women’s organizations that taught me very important lessons to decolonize my own feminism and re-think my activist research methodologies from a dialogical perspective.
