The Voices of Aboriginal Women on the Debate between Individual Rights and Collective Rights in Mexico
The 1990s marked an important turning point in the discourse of the Mexican state of the nation and give way to a new discourse ulticulturel m.In this context important negotiations take place between the indigenous movement and the State to define the terms of recognition through the demands for autonomy. Divergent positions emerge about the involvement of the recognition of collective rights and human rights, in particular vis-à-vis women’s rights. If the positions of the state and the indigenous movement has received considerable attention, the perspective of indigenous women in turn received little attention. Seeking to contribute to this recent effort we propose to consider the prospects built since the movement of indigenous women in Mexico as an alternative to the debate between individual rights and collective rights and contribute to theoretical reflections on the issue of internal minorities.
