The philosopher Sayak Valencia explains in \"Epistemopolíticas del Border\" in this issue, \"lxs Doctorxs Blancxs del Norte, quiénes no solo insisten en explicarnos nuestros mundos desde sus perspectivas, sesgos, y privilegios sino que además expropian y se apropian de nuestra producción de conocimiento y, tras blanquearlo, edulcorarlo, y despolitizarlo, nos devuelven nuestros conceptos en su idioma 'sin acento,' con copyright para citar según MLA o Chicago, como requisito principal para ingresar a un mundo de extractivismo académico que aún les rinde pleitesía\"2 Valencia's critique embodies the extractive nature of the academe and scholars in the Global North as well as the ways in which publications, journals, and editors circulate specific types of knowledge by reproducing structural racists practices and xenophobic ideologies that reify American exceptionalism. Some impediments to realizing our full vision included the following: (1) publishing original texts as some submissions had already been published and circulated in journals in their respective countries and languages;(2) building trust between the authors and the journal because some authors chose not to submit a text because of their past experiences with US journals;(3) precarity as a real condition that caused life-altering transitions for some authors and limited access for reaching other authors we would have liked to include;(4) some of the authors in this issue do not speak English, thus obtaining their permission and trying to create alternative methods of giving permission that were recognized by the press were challenging.

The word gender has been used against itself in misogynistic theories such as the pseudo-criticism of “gender ideology.” Misogyny is the official discourse of patriarchy, whose basic strategy is to treat everything that refers to the non-masculine as negative in a perpetual action that we can call active prejudice. Misogyny is also the “performative” operator by which one understands in what sense one is speaking, i.e., there is no hate without discourse. If gender is performative (Butler) it is because language is performative (Austin) and words define fields of action and forms of action. Gender is something that is created in phallogocentric language for the submission and subjugation of bodies. Patriarchal society is phallocratic in which men are agents of power and violence and women and LGBTQI+ people are objects of these violences that entail the most basic epistemological violence given in the attitude of defining and naming. If patriarchy is discursive, feminism is dialogical. The following text seeks to open paths for this reflection.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"65 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48000740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a community-university partnership, this initiative was a response to a call to action generated from a series of consultations between researchers and Latinas that took place in public libraries and community centers in El Paso, Texas. This call to action led to the LEAD initiative, an executive leadership curriculum for Latinas to address their needs and priorities in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez. This study presents a unique leadership model that combines leadership studies with community engagement and social justice. This example of feminist praxis applies leadership knowledge and skills toward improving the personal and collective quality of life for women and their families.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"122 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42593912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The time I spent alongside attorneys, other translators, and mental health workers assisting families through the beginning stages of the asylum process helped me realize standard research practices alone cannot offer the care and human connection necessary in justice work. I offer a theorization of knowledge-making rooted in organizer/activist praxis that centers relationality and reflexivity to disrupt distanced and disconnected research. Using my lived experience, I illustrate how tensions arise for scholar/activists that offer us opportunities to see both the limitations and possibilities of scholar/activism. I also posit that although ideas and discourse about theory into action and activism are welcomed, scholar/activism toward actionable change remains heavily policed. I ground this paper in autohistoria-teoría to illustrate its praxis by moving between poetry, theory-building, and witnessing accounts, to make visible the tensions, conflicts, and negotiations of this work.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"104 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48516048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using forty-seven in-depth interviews with community organizers and fifteen months of participant observations of local collective action as evidence, I highlight the intersecting processes of collective action and family life. Findings elucidate how leaders in the study, most of whom are African American and Latina mothers and grandmothers, coproduced community organizing and family life. Leaders incorporate community organizing training sessions and skills within their intimate kinship relationships. They engage in what I call restorative kinship, an intentional practice of advancing the social and emotional healing of relationships through the use of community organizing repertoires. Findings highlight implications for the strengthening of families through a collective action model that is intentionally inclusive of families—implications that I argue not only support mothers of color to fight for the rights of their children and families but also help them to construct and mend relationships that have been strained by social marginalization. Social movement and restorative justice scholarship must increasingly recognize that collective action participation is not a one-directional activity to achieve policy change but rather an interactive process that can deeply shape kinship.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"1 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44325498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic and social poverty constitutes an important part of these concerns. Facing this reality, several organizations are working on the implementation of positive measures for the labor and social insertion of women who find themselves immersed in the path of losing social capital due to GBV and so being at risk of exclusion. The main goal of this research is to analyze the impact of those measures implemented by public entities in the Basque Country region in terms of overcoming the poverty and social risk of victim women that has emerged in exclusionary contexts. Through in-depth interviews with third-sector organizations and victims of GBV, this article gathers firsthand experiences to further understand the situation of socioeconomic poverty suffered by this group of women and measures to improve this situation. Women's narratives frame the extent to which these actions are helpful for them and point to recommendations for improvement. This analysis sheds light not only on reintegration policies but also on those successful measures in terms of tackling and overcoming the social risk that GBV might involve. The success of the Basque Country model encourages this approach from a comprehensive action model, focusing on social dimensions such as employment, education, empowerment, support, and commitment.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"26 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45214792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"\"This Pussy Actually Grabs Back\": A Trans Latina Expansion of \"Pussy\"","authors":"Andrea Bolivar","doi":"10.1353/fro.2021.0020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/fro.2021.0020","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:During the 2017 Women's March, there was a sea of \"pussyhats,\" worn in rebuke of the president's cocky statement that he can freely \"grab\" women \"by the pussy.\" Critiques emerged from various communities marginalized within the Women's March and the Pussyhat Project, by women of color, transgender folks, and sex workers. I engage with these important critiques. However, in an attempt to push the scholarly conversation beyond calls for increased intersectionality and inclusivity that I argue may rest on cisgenderist and transnormative assumptions in regard to pussyhats, I offer a trans of color critique of pussyhats based on ethnographic research with sex-working transgender Latina women in Chicago. The women, who have not received genital reconstructive surgery, freely and frequently talk about their pussies. Moreover, they creatively utilize their pussies to survive and at times thrive in Chicago's sexual economy of labor. Centering their experiences and epistemologies, I argue for a trans of color expansion of \"pussy,\" \"woman,\" and thus feminism. In response to the critiques, the Women's March banned the pussyhat after the first year. I argue that the vague pleas for intersectionality and inclusivity and the ban on the pussyhat are based in binaristic and additive understandings of gender, race, and feminism. I hope to move beyond binaristic and additive assumptions and toward a logic of expansion that allows for unlimited possibilities for women, transgender people, and feminists. Furthermore, I argue that centering the resistance of sex-working transgender Latinas is imperative for feminist change in the post-Trump era.","PeriodicalId":46007,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers-A Journal of Women Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"158 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48404559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
