Wednesday Draft Questions - Eric Fong

1. In These Women are Saving The Amazon, "Capitalism has to, on one hand, exploit nature, but on the other hand exploit women" (1:41). They seek to fight against the 'new patriarchy.' What do you believe is the most impactful strategy to fight against capitalism utilized by these women?


2. In "Unearthing Women's Anti‐Mining Activism in the Andes: Pachamama and the “Mad Old Women," Jenkins speaks about "Thus the land is more than a source of livelihood, it embodies an entire way of life passed down through generations, and an associated set of cultural and spiritual practices and beliefs." What would be the best way to help convey this cultural significance to those that do not understand it?

3. In "What Does it Mean to Be an Indigenous Woman in Contemporary Times," Amaguana highlights the "history of most Indigenous women does not appear in official histories " (82). In what ways are women marginalized from history similar to that of other marginalized minorities?
