Groundbreaking interdisciplinary insights into gender studies in Andean Latin America, addressing transformative societal shifts and anti-genderism.
The collection Decolonising Andean Identities presents ground-breaking work from scholars carrying out social science research in and from Andean Latin America. It addresses themes of central importance to contemporary perspectives on interdisciplinary gender studies and politics in societies undergoing significant social transformation, by bringing together several in-depth ethnographic accounts and a diverse range of methodologies that will appeal to a wide audience. Taken together, its essays offer insights into the transformative role of gender in Latin America, providing the first academic collection of scholarship to give critical context for the rise of anti-genderism in the Andes.
Decolonising Andean Identities aims to develop the field of decolonial gender studies by showcasing interdisciplinary work at the forefront of scholarship. It draws on international expertise through its diverse contributors, including predominately Latin American scholars. In this way, it addresses the urgent need to broaden the perspectives on gender and gender-based activism in Latin America beyond the Southern Cone and Mexico, so that scholars can bring the region as a whole into dialogue with global scholarship.
