Wednesday Draft Questions - Karen Velderrain-Lopez
1. The third source, "Unearthing Women's Anti-Mining Activism in the Andes," the text discusses how there is a "tendency for women activists to remain relatively invisible" (Jenkins). What are other movements or efforts where women and people of color have been disregarded and their impact have been discounted?
2. The circumstances explained in Jenkins paper can be related to the oil pipeline development in indigenous communities in Canada and the US. How have the treatment of these communities make them more vulnerable to exploitation and more likely to encounter these kinds of situations?
3. The source "What Does It Mean to be an Indigenous Woman in Contemporary Times" talks about how these indigenous women use the concept of testimonio to tell their stories. How are they using testimonio to take back their identity and empower themselves and their community? How does this show us the importance of testimonio in an activist sense?
