“Now We Are Awake”: Women’s Political Participation in the Oaxacan Indigenous Binational Front
Centolia Maldonado and Patricia Artía Rodríguez
This chapter docuements transformations that have taken place in one area of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca. Over the last decade, the absence of men due to migration has allowed for the emergence of new practices of political participation among the women who remain in the communities. This essay reflects upon the authors’ organizational experiences working with and supporting the indigenous women of the Oaxacan Indigenous Binational Front (FIOB).
