Feminist Liberation Practice with Latinx Women: Introduction to the Special Issue

Abstract

This special issue synthesizes the interdisciplinary scholarship and clinical knowledge regarding the application of liberation psychology and feminist approaches with Latinx women. Embracing the approach of decolonization, the authors of this special issue center the intersectionality of Latinxs’ identities and experiences and interrogate neocolonial practices that perpetuate marginalization. The articles address oppressive structural and systemic processes, share innovative frameworks and methods (e.g., testimonios) of feminist liberation practice, and give voice to narratives that have been erased or silenced.
