Decolonial sentipensar about the peruvian agrarian reform

Abstract

In this article, I carry out an analytical and experiential journey of the agrarian reform process and my experience of promotion and organization with communities and rural women in Canta (Lima), Puno and Piura. My analysis of agrarian reform is located from my origins and indigenous roots in the Quispampa peasant community (Huancabamba-Piura). From situated knowledge and decolonial sentipensar, I demonstrate the importance of recognizing the historicity of peasant communities, of promoting organizational strengthening and the autonomous movement of indigenous women. In Canta, I emphasize the community organicity of indigenous peoples; in Puno, the experience of Popular Education and radio communication; and, in Huancabamba (Piura), Permanent Education and participant research that strengthen women’s autonomy and own voice. I demonstrate the racist, ethnocentric colonial legacy of economic injustice, inequality and patriarchal violence that impacts indigenous communities. I challenge to recover the practice of Buen Vivir and care for the network of life of the peoples of Peru to transform and generate necessary changes in the redistribution of common goods and free from capitalist oppression and for justice with the Peruvian peasantry.
