Chicana/Latin American Feminist Epistemologies of the Global South (Within and Outside the North): DecolonizingEl Conocimientoand Creating Global Alliances

Our current global/local state requires a move beyond ideological geographic territorialities of North and South to combat imperialist White supremacist capitalist patriarchy (hooks, 2013) and create global alliances. A survey of decolonial Latin American and Chicana feminist works emphasize an array of issues and concepts of which two are discussed in this article. The focus on epistemologies of the South (within and outside the North) and global solidarity are attempts at recentering local epistemologies that extend transborderly and a move towards feminist global alliances and collectivized politics. Ultimately, I argue that recentering local knowledge and generating global alliances have implications for glocal relations, transborder understandings, and research.
