Mulheres Indígenas e o acesso à Justiça: a perspectiva de gênero na antropologia jurídica latino-americana

The chapter is written in Portuguese.

In this text, the authors reflect on the contributions of the practices and theorizations of indigenous women in Latin America for the reformulation of a legal anthropology with a gender perspective. They consider that the critical perspectives of legal anthropology in the Latin American countries that incorporated gender analysis are the product of a dialogue of knowledge between anthropologists committed to the struggles of organized indigenous peoples and women who, have been reflecting on their rights as women and as indigenous peoples and focusing in particular on spaces of community justice. These dialogues questioned both the idealized perspectives of indigenous law and the universalist perspectives of women’s rights.
