The Spanish language version of Indigenous Women’s Movements in Latin America: Gender and Ethnicity in Peru, Mexico and Bolivia by Stéphanie Rousseau and Anahi Morales was launched in 2018. The book reveals how indigenous women refuse the ambivalent character of narratives about national cohesion when, in moments of friction, they contest the fragility of modern rational politics. The book inspires to inquire about the ability of these women to be between worlds, which enables the transit and relationships between them in order to claim for life projects that they want to live in community.
