Interdependencia, cuidados y resistencia. Nikan Tipowih y la reproducción de la vida en Zongolica, Veracruz

Abstract

The State of Veracruz, Mexico, ranks second for the crime of femicide in México, in addition to this, a scenario of increasing precariousness that puts at risk the possibility of reproducing life in decent conditions. Faced with this, women of diverse origins have organized to work in the construction of caring communities, as possibilities to preserve their lives, territories and culture. We approach this problem from the stakes of feminist political ecology and community feminism, to understand the complexity of the tensions waged by those who seek to weave strategies for the reproduction of living, in the midst of a plundering system that attacks bodies, knowledge and territories and damages the ties and exchanges between women. Our reflection is centered on the experience of Nikan Tipowih, political pedagogical resistance, linked to the defense of the territory, knowledge and the Nahua language of the Sierra de Zongolica.
