Abstract
ASHER, Kiran. Engendrando desenvolvimento e etnicidade nas terras baixas do Pacífico colombiano. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2004, vol.12, n.01, pp.15-45. ISSN 1806-9584.
In this paper I explore how Afro-Colombian women’s organizations and networks shape and are shaped by state initiatives to develop and modernize the Pacific region. I argue that in doing so these mobilize and go beyond the developmentalist rhetoric of the state and the discourse of gendered black ethnicity and tradition of black political organizations in the region.
Keywords : Afro-Colombian Women; Development Strategies; Gendered Ethnicity in Politics.
