• Sommario/riassunto: This book highlights the intellectual contributions of Latin American women thinkers and writers who have addressed pressing global issues such as gender biases, racial and linguistic injustice, and social inequality. It emphasizes the underrepresentation of these voices in international academic and literary discourse and seeks to bridge this gap by presenting translated works originally written in Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish. Edited by Aurea Mota, Laura ; Fólica, and Diana Roig-Sanz, the collection showcases diverse perspectives from scholars and activists rooted in various regions of Latin America, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Mexico. These essays explore intersections of academia, social activism, feminist theory, and contemporary social challenges. Intended for an academic and socially conscious audience, the book aims to foster a more inclusive understanding of global intellectual history.
