The Latin America Feminisms Working Group at UMBC invites you to a book presentation and Q&A of:
Postconflict Utopias: Everyday Survival in Chocó, Colombia
Black women in the department of Choco, Colombia, imagine the end of the armed conflict through activism and storytelling. Tania Lizarazo focuses on members of COCOMACIA, Colombia’s largest Black peasants’ association that defends the collective territories in the Pacific lowlands. Drawing on the life stories of members and their local, regional, and transnational networks, Lizarazo explains how Choco’s Black Colombian women survive through everyday collaborative practices—from showing up to caretaking. A merger of storytelling and theory, Postconflict Utopias explores the links between lived knowledge and survival while revealing the power unleashed when women ask the simple question, “Why not?”
