Abstract
their origins in families unrelated to politics and an outstanding career as professional volleyball players. Through semi-structured interviews with women identified as Afro-Peruvian who were elected to the Congress of the Republic of Peru this article explores their routes to political power from an intersectional perspective. Instead of the traditional path to power through family ties or the paths of political and community activism, participants in this study exemplify an alternative route to being elected representatives: volleyball. This relationship, however, occurs amid paradoxes between the exclusion and inclusion of Afro-Peruvian women in general.
