SANTOS, Luciane Lucas dos. Must Feminist Economy be Post­colonial? Economic Coloniality, Gender, and Epistemologies of the South. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais [online]. 2017, n.114, pp.161-186. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.6797.

In this article I analyse the phenomenon of economic coloniality, observing its impact on the social fabric and how it affects women's lives in particular - namely those in subordinate positions, either in the peripheries of the world's major cities or where they constitute minorities, or symbolically, in the global South and North. My interest is to examine how economic and gender colonialities interact, accentuating the situations of inequality in which women find themselves. Finally, I inquire into the extent that feminist economies can open up a dialogue more closely with post-colonial theories - in particular, post-colonial studies of economy and with epistemologies of the South as a way to explore the contradictions of the modern discourse on development. I argue that feminist economies can benefit from the post-colonial perspective and the epistemologies of the South to analyse the inconsistencies of the universalisation of this discourse and the intersectional dynamics which bring together the issues of gender, race/ethnicity, and class within the scope of the economy.

Palabras clave : economic coloniality; epistemologies of the South; Feminist Economics; gender; postcolonial studies on Economics.
