Resumen
PARRA-VALENCIA, Liliana. Always alive: Emancipation, peace, and research from the garden of Heloísa. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.3, e89880. Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 1806-9584. https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2023v31n389880.
The essay addresses the healing knowledge of peasant women from Montes de María (Sucre-Bolívar, Colombia), from Black feminisms. Faced with the multiple oppressions they historically experience in the Montemarian ancestral territory, they maintain Afro-Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants to care for their community. Thus, they resist the patriarchal order, capitalism, colonialism, and war in the context of reparation and post-agreement. The research followed participatory and narrative methodologies based on visits to the territory and meetings with the women. I conclude that determined commitment -not only discursive but also in praxis- is necessary to recognize and integrate academic knowledge and psychosocial research, the experiences and knowledge of women, from the everyday spaces of emancipation, peace, and decolonization, such as Heloísa’s garden.
