Feminist Liberation Practice with Latinx Women by Lillian Comas-Díaz PDF Summary

Book Description: This book unearths ancestral wisdom to address the needs of oppressed women in both the Global South and Global North. Focusing on Latinx womxn, it empowers through decoloniality, liberation, mujerismo, and nepantlismo. As such, Latinx womxn compose their testimonios, engage in critical consciousness, and commit to global liberation. Mujerismo--a dissident daughter of liberation theology--is a Latinx womanism with anti-patriarchal, anticolonial, anti-neocolonial, and antiracial-gendered colonial orientations. Mujeristas appropriate cultural/religious/spiritual symbols to construct empowering new meanings for decolonization and liberation. Feminist liberation practices assist in this process. When Latinx womxn’s immigration accentuates inhabiting the cultural borderlands, they enter Nepantla--a place in between—to reclaim themselves and to heal soul wounds and trauma. Rooted in the Nahuatl concept of collective transformation, Nepantla encourages the development of psychospiritual abilities. As Latinx womxn engage in nepantlismo, they awaken their spiritual faculties to become instruments of courage, resistance, revolution, love, and hope. This book will be valuable to researchers, therapists, and educators interested in the practice of feminist therapy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
