O feminismo camponês popular: resistência e revolução.

Abstract

This research has the objective of analyzing the forms of articulation of the fight against capitalism, patriarchy and racism, in the construction and adoption processes of “Popular Peasant Feminism” by the women organized in the Coordinadoria Latinoamericana de Organizaciones del Campo (Cloc) and in the Brazilian Movement of Peasant Women (MMC). Our work is grounded on the historical and dialectical materialist method, with a participatory research methodology, as it is impossible to separate the researcher from the activist, who studies the very object she builds up, participating in reflection spaces and political decisionmaking, like attendance in and organization of debate meetings about Popular Peasant Feminism. In this methodology, we also used document analysis and survey conduction. This work has made it possible to comprehend how patriarchy, racism and capitalism intertwine in the exploitation, oppression and domination of Latin American and Caribbean peoples. Furthermore, it was possible to unveil the diverse forms of peasant resistance, focusing especially on the resistance of peasant women, who contributed, through the articulation of their fights, to the broadening of the definition of being feminist. This research had as a result the systematization of the construction process of Popular Peasant Feminism, its political demands and its vision of transforming reality through socialism, agroecology, feminism and food sovereignty, holding the political unity of diverse experiences as the principal driving force of this change.
