Mujeres indígenas Rarámuri universitarias: su resistencia a la opresión

Abstract

In the last decade, the indigenous women have begun to accede theuniversity: a space before denied to them. It represents for them the opportunityto be liberated from the social oppression, expressed in situations of exclusion,which nevertheless are reflected in this academic space, though in a smallerscale, as there the indigenous women may reconstruct or reaffirm their identity,and so resist and advance over it, as a form of social agency. To approach thisissue I made an ethnography on the Rarámuri women university students. TheRarámuri are an indigenous group from Chihuahua, in México. I wonderedwhat does it mean for these women and for those who surround them to be awoman Rarámuri? I interpreted the results using concepts as subjectivity, oppres-sion, identity, gender, intersectionality and ethnicity; following the postcolonialfeminism.
