Isi artikel

This article discusses the history, activities, contributions, and challenges of Raíces, a women’s collective based in Santiago, Chile, whose participants promote community change through popular education. The article explores the philosophical foundations of Raíces and locates the collective in its political and historical contexts.Particular attention is paid to the ways in which Raíces has confronted the tensions and contradictions of emergent democracy in a neoliberal economy, officialist feminism in state-sanctioned women’s organizations, and everyday life for poor and working-class women who are marginalized by both.The implications for feminist social work practice are addressed.
