Kalinic, ArianaAbstract
This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico from 2005-2007 and explores the experiences of Zapatista women during the period of autonomy. Despite the early attention paid by the Zapatista movement to gender inequality, a gap remains between discourse and lived experiences. I have identified women’s participation within this gap as a process I am calling gendered autonomy, a sociological concept through which we can understand women’s work in autonomy building.This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico from 2005-2007 and explores the experiences of Zapatista women during the period of autonomy.
