  We are currently witnessing an emergence of ideas that is starting to reshape how we think about Latin American feminisms. However, the project of reconfiguration is still very much in process. In this context, critical ideas about race and the history of racism have entered mainstream concerns, predominantly voiced from Afro-descended standpoints (Curiel 2007). Further, lesbian feminists have brought forth criticisms of liberal feminism for not only paying less attention to race and racism, but also for centering on heteronormativity as part of the feminist agenda. One notable position holds that there is an inextricable link between lesbianism and feminism insofar as the adoption of a self-conscious feminism entails shifting engagement with dominant masculinity on all levels and this includes the realm of desire (Espinosa Miñoso 2011: 403). Indigenous feminists have also uncovered critical insights in the relationships among community, the state, and political belonging. Their ideas about the balance between ethnic belonging and critiques of sexism are a call to dominant liberal feminism to rethink its concept of culture and community that risks reducing Indigenous women to targets of development (Bastian Duarte 2012: 164). The emergence of these critical ideas takes liberal feminism to task by calling out the dominance of middle-class, white/mestiza, and heteronormative models for feminist projects as not only exclusionary, but also profoundly harmful. Notably, most of these positions take decolonization as an orienting project and maintain that racism and heterosexism are rooted in colonialism whose impact continues to plague Latin America and the Caribbean.
